老年患者静脉血栓栓塞症的预防OACSTPCD

Venous thromboembolism(VTE)is a common disease with high morbidity and mortality.The incidence and mortality of VTE are higher in elderly patients and increased level of D-dimer,a thrombosis marker is positively related with age.Therefore,the diagnostic threshold needs to be adjusted to screen VTE with D-dimer level.Elderly patients may still have VTE after implementation of anticoagulant prevention,and increasing age is a high risk factor for bleeding after anticoagulant prevention.Whether elderly patients need to be monitored for anticoagulant prevention of VTE,and the relationship between age and VTE recurrence remains to be determined.In-depth re-search on the prevention of VTE in elderly patients and exploration of innovative VTE prevention strategies may ori-ent future research.
