Consistency of two venous thrombosis risk assessment scales for inpatients with tumors
Objective To explore the consistency of Padua Scale and Khorana Scale in the assessment of venous thromboembolism risk in inpatients with tumors,and to provide references for choosing an appropriate scale for assessing venous thromboembolism risk in inpatients with tumors.Methods One hundred and thirty-six cancer patients who were admitted to People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from May to July 2022 were selected for the retrospective analysis,including 76 males and 60 females who were(52.72±15.00)years old.The risk of venous thromboembolism was assessed by both the Padua Scale and the Khorana Scale.The detected rates of thromboembolism risk by the two scales were compared by the x2 test.The consistency of the results of the two scales was analyzed by the Kappa test.Results The detected rates by the Padua Scale and Khorana Scale on the risk of venous thromboembolism in the patients were 43.38%(59/136)and 41.18%(56/136),respectively,with no statistical difference(P>0.05).The concordance rate of the two scales in the assessment of the risk of venous thromboembolism in the patients was 90.44%(123/136),and the Kappa value was 0.804(P<0.01),with good concordance.Conclusions The two scales,Padua and Khorana,have high consistency in the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism in inpatients with tumors.Both can be used as the evaluation criteria for the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism in inpatients with tumors.
