Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence and risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Asian patients undergoing surgery for ulcerative colitis (UC) in Japan, highlighting the increasing occurrence of VTE in this population.
- Among 134 patients studied, 11.1% developed deep vein thrombosis and 0.7% had pulmonary embolism, with a significant number being asymptomatic and no surgery-related deaths recorded.
- Key risk factors identified include a preoperative hospital stay longer than 5 days and blood transfusion during the perioperative period, emphasizing the need for careful VTE management similar to practices in Western countries.
Background: Few studies have investigated surgical outcomes following a colectomy in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Purpose: This study aimed to determine long-term outcomes in a large cohort of pediatric patients who underwent proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) for UC.
Methods: Pediatric patients (<17 years old) who underwent surgery at 12 different hospitals in Japan between May 1979 and March 2015 were included in this study.
