Evaluating the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in Transfeminine and Gender Diverse People: A Retrospective Analysis
Objective
The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with feminizing gender-affirming hormone therapy is an area of concern. This analysis aimed to assess whether gender-affirming hormone therapy and other potential risk factors are associated with VTE in transfeminine and gender diverse individuals.
Methods
We conducted a chart review of 2126 transfeminine and gender diverse adults receiving care within a large urban health system. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of VTE and odds ratios for the association of VTE with insurer, use of estrogen, and select comorbidities.
Results
A history of VTE was documented in 0.8% of the cohort. Those with a history of VTE were older (P < .001), more often self-identified as Hispanic or Black compared to White or Asian (P < .05) and were more likely to have Medicaid or Medicare (P < .01) when compared to those without a history of VTE. The prevalence of hyperlipidemia (P < .001), diabetes mellitus (P < .05), and hypercoagulable conditions (P < .001) were all greater in the positive VTE group. Hyperlipidemia (P < .001), diabetes mellitus (P < .05), and insurer (P < .05) were associated with increased odds of VTE in univariate analyses. None of the exposure variables analyzed were associated with VTE when controlling for age, race, and the number of comorbidities.
Conclusions
The prevalence of VTE in our cohort was lower than previously observed. VTE was not associated with any one risk factor, including estrogen use, when controlling for age, race, and the number of comorbidities. Those of advanced age and those with multiple cardiometabolic comorbidities may benefit from increased surveillance and mitigation of modifiable risk factors.
