Hi all

This popped up on Pub Med today--link is to full article.

Risk of venous thromboembolism in people admitted to hospital with selected immune-mediated diseases: record-linkage study

Quote:

Results

Significantly elevated risks of VTE were found, in all three populations studied, in people with a hospital record of admission for autoimmune... multiple sclerosis,........

Seems like good info to have even if it's not good news....

Take care all

Thanks, Shayk. As we learned thru Marie's experience with angioplasty on this site, those with RA and MS are at a higher risk for clotting and coagulation issues which could lead to thromboembolism. Inactivity is also linked to this problem. This is why Dr. Dake started testing D-dimer in patients BEFORE angioplasty, and why I encourage all who seek CCSVI treatment to know their coagulation status before angio. The good news in this study is that MS had a bit lower risk of VTE than lupus and RA.

from the paper cited:

Quote:

For example, there were 81,950 people in the MS cohort of whom 1,509 had an admission for VTE (1.8%) during the 10-year period covered by the study. As an approximation, in people with MS there was one case of VTE per 264 person-years at risk.
