Abstract

Background: Obesity is a known risk factor for thromboembolic complications in trauma patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of thrombotic complications in obese geriatric patients.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of TQIP (2017-2019). A total of 119,906 patients≥65 years who sustained severe trauma were included. Primary outcomes were thrombotic complications including stroke/cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), myocardial infarction (MI), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Outcomes were compared between patients with obesity (BMI≥30 kg∖m²) and overweight (25 kg∖m²≤BMI<30 kg∖m²) and normal weight (19 kg∖m²≤BMI<25 kg∖m²) patients.

Results: A total number of 30,356 (26.8 %) patients were obese. All clotting complications (stroke/CVA, MI, DVT and PE) were significantly more frequent among obese patients (p < 0.001for all). Multivariate logistic regression showed that obese patients had significantly increased odds of stroke/CVA (OR = 1.207), MI (OR = 1.301), DVT (OR = 1.311) and PE (OR = 1.241) (p < 0.001 for all).

Conclusion: Obese geriatric patients who sustain severe traumatic injuries are at increased risk of thromboembolic complications compared to non-obese patients.

Level of evidence: Level III retrospective study.
