ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients, and provide certain clinical basis of early prevention in peripherally inserted central catheter associated thrombosis in cervical cancer patients. Methods One hundred and forty cervical patients with PICC were enrolled in this study, and they were divided into thrombosis group (35 patients) and non-thrombosis group (105 patients). The level of F1+2 was examined using enzyme-linked immunoassay, and was analyzed according to the clinic features. Results The level of F1+2 was correlated with clinical stage (r = 0.640, P = 0.004);but was not correlated with age, type of tumor and concurrent radiochemotherapy (P>0.05). The level of F1+2 in thrombosis group was (520.343 ± 121.759) pmol/L, in non- thrombosis group was (388.361 ± 104.873) pmol/L, and there was significant difference (P =0.001). The multi-factors Logistic analysis showed that the level of F1+2 (OR=1.011, P=0.001) and age (OR = 21.025, P = 0.031) were independent risk factors for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer. Conclusions The level of F1+2 is closely related with clinical stage and PICC associated thrombosis, and it is an independent risk factor for the PICC associated with thrombosis in cervical cancer.
