Abstract: Objective To investigate the risk factors for venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with lung cancer,in order to provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 869 elderly patients who were treated in our hospital from Mar.2010 to Mar.2014.And the venous thromboembolism and its related risk factors in elderly lung cancer patients were analyzed.Results 35 cases (4.35％) complicated with venous tbromboembolism.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that adenocarcinoma,basic diseases,and D-dipolymer≥300 μg/L belonged to the independent risk factors for the complication of venous thromboembolism in elderly patients with lung cancer (OR=2.839,1.586 and 10.514,respectively,P=0.007,0.022 and 0.000).Conclusions The risk factors for the complication of venous thromboembolism should be monitored in the treatment of elderly patients with lung cancer.Early anticoagulation therapy should be performed to improve clinical effect and reduce the incidence of complications.
