Core Tip

Core Tip: This study found that age, immobilization during follow-up, medication compliance, compliance with wearing elastic stockings, and peripheral blood D-dimer and fibrin degradation product levels are independent risk factors for thrombosis recurrence in patients with lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and high-altitude polycythemia (HAPC). Furthermore, the nomogram model constructed using these factors demonstrated promising applications in predicting thrombosis recurrence after discharge, thereby providing a reference for predicting thrombosis recurrence in patients with lower-limb DVT combined with HAPC in clinical practice.
