BACKGROUND Some patients may have deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and superficial thrombophlebitis (ST) of the lower limbs at the same time. OBJECTIVE To analyze the frequency of risk factors for thrombosis (RF), other than thrombophilias, in patients with concomitant DVT and ST. METHODS Clinical examination, plasma D-dimers and duplex ultrasonography were performed in 88 consecutive patients (mean age 64.9 +/-13.9 years) admitted in Medical Clinic in 2007. Patients with DVT were divided into two groups: A (with ST - 30 subjects, 34.1%) and B (without ST - 58 patients, 65.9%). RESULTS Conditions known as RF were the following (Group A versus B): varicose veins (17 vs 21 patients, p=0.11), obesity (12 vs 19, p=0.66), previous venous thromboembolism (8 vs 16, p=0.87), malignancy (4 vs 10, p=0.44), chronic obstructive lung disease (4 vs 7, p=0.56), sepsis (2 vs 3, p=0.56), stroke and chemotherapy (1 vs 2, p=0.73), bed rest more than three days (1 vs 7, p=0.17), major surgery (1 vs 1, p=0.57), family history of DVT (1 vs 0, p=0.57), immobilizing plaster cast (0 vs 1, p=0.57). CONCLUSIONS One third of patients with DVT had ST. None of those conditions considered as RF for DVT correlated with DVT-ST association.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.
