RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical effect of intervention strategies based on Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model for preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after total hip replacement (THR). METHODS: From January 2018 to December 2021, 197 patients with THR were selected as retrospective cohort study subjects, including 114 males and 83 females, aged from 45 to 80 years with an average of (66.81±10.34) years old. Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model introduced in May 2019 was used as boundary and divided into two groups, 94 patients were performed routine intervention strategies(control group) and 103 patients were received intervention strategies based on Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model (observation group). Incidence of DVT, visual analogue scale (VAS), circumference difference of affected limb, serum D-dimer (D-D) level and Harris score of hip function between two groups were analyzed. RESULTS: One-hundred and ninty-seven patients were followed up from 1 to 3 months with an average of (2.57±0.31) months. Incidence of DVT was 1.94% in observation group and 11.70% in control group, and there was statistical difference between two groups (χ2=6.642, P=0.010). VAS scores between two groups decreased gradually (P<0.001). There was significant difference between two groups in VAS score on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 7th day after operation (P<0.05), but no difference between two groups on the 10th day after operation (P>0.05). Difference in circumference of the affected limb between two groups after operation was gradually reduced (P<0.001), and the difference in circumference of the affected limb between two groups was statistically significant on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th, and 10th day after operation(P<0.05). Levels of serum D-D between two groups were gradually decreased after operation(P<0.05), and differences in serum D-D levels between two groups on the 8th, 24th, 48th, and 72th hour after operation were statistically significant (P<0.05). Pain score and Harris total scores between two groups were significantly increased as tomes goes on(P<0.001), no difference in VAS at 3 months after discharge, and there were statistically significant differences in Harris scores between two groups immediately after discharge, 1 month and 3 months after discharge (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: Intervention strategy based on Caprini thrombosis risk assessment model could reduce incidence of DVT in patients with THR, improve postoperative pain and swelling of the affected limb, and promote recovery of hip joint function.
