AIM: To determine if the mode of presentation of venous thromboembolism (VTE), as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE), predicts the likelihood and type of recurrence. METHODS: We carried out a patient-level meta-analysis of seven prospective studies in patients with a first VTE who were followed after anticoagulation was stopped. We used Kaplan-Meier analysis to determine the cumulative incidence of recurrent VTE according to mode of presentation, and multivariable Cox regression to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for mode of and extent of DVT as potential risk factors for recurrence. RESULTS: The 5-year cumulative rate of recurrent VTE in 2554 patients was 22.6%. In 869 (36.1%) patients with PE, the 5-year rate of any recurrence (DVT or PE) was 22.0%, and recurrence as PE was 10.6%. In 1365 patients with proximal DVT, the 5-year recurrence rate was 26.4%, and recurrence with PE was 3.6%. The risk of recurrence as PE was 3.1-fold greater in patients presenting with symptomatic PE than in patients with proximal DVT (HR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.9-5.1). Patients with proximal DVT had a 4.8-fold higher cumulative recurrence rate than those with distal DVT (HR, 4.8; 95% CI, 2.1-11.0). CONCLUSION: Whilst DVT and PE are manifestations of the same disease, the phenotypic expression is predetermined. Patients presenting with PE are three times more likely to suffer recurrence as PE than patients presenting with DVT. Patients presenting with calf DVT are at low risk of recurrence and at low risk of recurrence as PE. |
