Purpose

This study investigates the scope of VTE in people with UBC in the UK and explores their understanding of VTE from their experience of having cancer and anti-cancer treatments, alongside the perspectives of healthcare professionals (healthcare professionals).

Methods

A sequential Phase I - quantitative, exploring the incidence and risk factors for VTE in UBC, by cohort of UK Hospital Episodes Statistics (Hospital Episodes Statistics) data and a retrospective case-control analysis using data from two UK NHS trusts.

n = 1000 patients

Results

cystectomy nearly triples the odds of blood clots

OR by subgroup · 95% CI

More results

VTE incidence in people with UBC was around 6.0 per 1000 patients, determined from UK national datasets.

More results

Three major themes emerged from the interviews: 'all about the cancer' (thrombosis risk was not a priority for patients with UBC), 'a labyrinthine process' (information about VTE was bewildering and compartmentalised) and 'improving the poor deal' (suggestions offered to improve communication around VTE were identified).

“

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Conclusions: VTE is an important clinical problem in patients with UBC.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

The analysis of this study confirms that the treatment type and metastatic disease are the main risks factors associated with increased VTE risk, healthcare professionals can build on the findings of this study to progress individualised care through multidisciplinary, and patient-centered VTE prevention plans during inpatient encounters.
