Modeling Time to Cure of Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Cox Proportional Model in Southwest of Ethiopia
View through CrossRef
BACKGROUND: Globally, there are about 10 million cases of deep vein thrombosis every year, and it is the third leading cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke. The objective of the study is to assess risk factors of time to cure patients of deep vein thrombosis in southwest Ethiopia.METHODS: A retrospective cohort study design was used. The study population was deep vein thrombosis patients at purposively selected hospitals in Southwest Ethiopia from January 2017 to December 2020. Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors associated with deep vein thrombosis.RESULTS: Out of the total 1068 registered as deep vein thrombosis patients, 263(24.6%) were cured during the study period, and 805(75.4%) were censored. Results of the Cox proportional hazard model show that; age, gender, family history of deep vein thrombosis, smoking status, immobilize and alcohol consumption were factors associated with deep vein thrombosis (p-value<0.05).CONCLUSION: The patients with a family history of deep vein thrombosis, prolonged immobilization, greater the 50 years, smoking cigarettes, female (non-pregnant) and alcohol users had a longer curing time of deep vein thrombosis compared to others.

Title: Modeling Time to Cure of Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Cox Proportional Model in Southwest of Ethiopia
Description:
BACKGROUND: Globally, there are about 10 million cases of deep vein thrombosis every year, and it is the third leading cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke.
The objective of the study is to assess risk factors of time to cure patients of deep vein thrombosis in southwest Ethiopia.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study design was used.
The study population was deep vein thrombosis patients at purposively selected hospitals in Southwest Ethiopia from January 2017 to December 2020.
Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify risk factors associated with deep vein thrombosis.
RESULTS: Out of the total 1068 registered as deep vein thrombosis patients, 263(24.
6%) were cured during the study period, and 805(75.
4%) were censored.
Results of the Cox proportional hazard model show that; age, gender, family history of deep vein thrombosis, smoking status, immobilize and alcohol consumption were factors associated with deep vein thrombosis (p-value<0.
05).
CONCLUSION: The patients with a family history of deep vein thrombosis, prolonged immobilization, greater the 50 years, smoking cigarettes, female (non-pregnant) and alcohol users had a longer curing time of deep vein thrombosis compared to others.
