Abstract
Background: The incidence of venous thromboembolic complications (VTEC) in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases is approximately 3 times higher than in the general population and leads to a 2-fold increase in the risk of mortality. The risk of VTEC is the highest during the patient's hospital stay.
Aim: To compare the overall VTEC risk in inpatients with ulcerative colitis (UC) with and without VTEC primary prevention.
Materials and methods: In 2020, anticoagulant therapy was used for patients with UC in the case of acute venous thrombosis, and in 2022, primary thromboprophylaxis in patients with UC with moderate and high VTEC risk was based on the data obtained from the previous analysis of VTEC risk factors in inpatients with inflammatory bowel diseases. VTEC prophylaxis in UC patients was performed with a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) - calcium nadroparin - at a dose of 0.3 mL (2850 IU anti-Xa) per day subcutaneously throughout the stay in the round-the-clock hospital.
Results: In 2020, venous thrombosis was diagnosed in 16 (1.8%) patients with UC, including venous thrombosis of the lower extremities in 3 (0.3%) patients, venous thrombosis of the upper extremities in 7 (0.8%), pulmonary embolism in 2 (0.2%), and combined thrombosis in 4 (0.5%). In 2022, venous thrombosis was diagnosed in 5 (0.5%) patients with UC, including venous thrombosis of the lower extremities in 1 (0.1%) patient, venous thrombosis of the upper extremities in 3 (0.3%), and pulmonary embolism in 1 (0.1%). Thus, primary prevention with an LMWH significantly reduces the risk of VTEC in hospitalized patients with UC (relative risk 0.285, 95% confidence interval 0.103-0.774; χ2=6.917; p=0.009).
Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that primary prevention with an LMWH significantly reduces the risk of VTEC in patients with UC hospitalized in a round-the-clock hospital.

The journal was founded by the prominent Russian therapists M.P. Konchalovsky and G.F. Lang in 1923. Then its editors-in-chief were Professors V.N. Vinogradov and A.G. Gukasyan. Since 1972, E.I. Chazov, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, has been heading the editorial board of the journal.
Over 90 years, there have been more than 1000 issues where the authors and editorial staff have done their best for readers to keep abreast of current advances in medical science and practice and for physicians to master the advanced principles of recognition and treatment of a wide spectrum of visceral diseases.
The papers published in the journal (editorials, original articles, lectures, reviews, etc.) cover both current scientific achievements and practical experience in diagnosing, treating, and preventing visceral diseases. The authors of publications are not only Russian, but also foreign scientists and physicians. All papers are peer-reviewed by highly qualified Russian specialists.
The journal is published monthly. Traditionally, each issue has predominantly certain thematic areas covering individual therapy specializations. Every year, one of the issues is devoted to related problems in practical medicine (allergology and immunology, neurology and psychiatry, obstetrics, oncology, etc.). This all draws the attention of the reading public to the journal.
The journal is indexed in RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index), PubMed/Medline, Index Medicus, Scopus/EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection (Science Citation Index Expanded), Web of Science (Russian Science Citation Index - RSCI, Current Contents Connect, BIOSIS Previews), Google Scholar, Ulrich''s Periodicals Directory.
The journal is included in the list of periodicals recommended by the Higher Attestation Committee for publishing the papers containing the basic materials of doctoral and candidate dissertations.
By the decision of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the “Therapevticheskiy Arkhiv” was awarded the Botkin medal. It was admitted to the European Association of Sciences Editors (EASE).
The journal was honored with the Golden Press Fund decoration at the 13th International Press Professional Exhibition.
