Abstract
Objective
Venous thromboembolism is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders in the any intensive care units (ICUs), which annually leads to death and imposes great costs on patients and society worldwide. The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the prevalence and factors related to venous thromboembolism in the ICUs as a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods
The current study was conducted in international databases, on all descriptive and analytical studies and clinical and semi-experimental trial studies, without time limit until November 2, 2021. The present study was designed and implemented based on PRISMA guideline. The quality of the studies was checked using STROBE checklist and meta-analysis was performed using CMA software.
Results
Among the 3204 articles found, after the evaluations, 189 articles entered the full text review phase, and as a result, 38 articles were included in the study. The reported prevalence of thromboembolism was 1-45%. The prevalence of venous thromboembolism was 12% in overall. The chance of venous thromboembolism was higher in ICUs patients >57 years old and ICUs patients with a history of venous thromboembolism.
Conclusion
The results of this study showed that venous thromboembolism has a higher prevalence in ICUs patients in comparison to non-ICUs patients. It is recommended to nurses and healthcare staffs to provide accurate decision and care for prevention of venous thromboembolism and paying attention to the patient's warning signs, timely administration of anticoagulants, and monitor coagulation factors.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
