Background: Guidelines recommend using risk assessment tools to identify ambulatory patients with cancer at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Objectives: We aimed to validate a new cancer-associated thrombosis (CAT) risk score in a population-based healthcare setting.
Methods: We used healthcare registry data and electronic medical records from the Central Denmark Region to calculate the new CAT risk score and the guideline-recommended Khorana score in patients with a first-time cancer diagnosis who initiated systemic cancer therapy.
Background: About 7% of patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (CAT) develop a recurrence during anticoagulant treatment. Identification of high-risk patients may help guide treatment decisions.
Aim: To identify clinical predictors and develop a prediction model for on-treatment recurrent CAT.
Background: Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is one of the major complications affecting patients with indwelling venous catheters, usually involving the upper extremity deep venous system. This condition can lead to potentially life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism and sepsis. The risk of developing CRT varies depending on type of catheters and patient characteristics.

- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant health issue globally, affecting many patients across various medical fields such as general medicine and public health.
- The text reviews the epidemiology of DVT, covering its incidence rates and associated risk factors.
- It also examines the impact of DVT on healthcare systems, highlighting the importance of prevention and awareness of population risk changes.
Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common issue in cancer patients, and this study aims to evaluate their clinical characteristics and management, particularly focusing on antithrombotic medications.
- The study involved 1,514 patients with recent cancer diagnoses and confirmed AF, finding high rates of cardiovascular diseases and a significant number of patients not receiving optimal anticoagulation treatment upon admission.
- Results indicate a significant underuse of appropriate antithrombotic therapy, suggesting the necessity for improved cardiovascular assessments in the care of cancer patients with AF.
