Is intimate partner abuse underestimated as a precipitating factor for venous thromboembolism in women?
Journal of thrombosis and haemostasis : JTH(2023)
摘要
Major and minor trauma increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but violence against young women is not reported as a precipitating factor for thrombosis. Here, we report 20 cases of first VTE events in women of childbearing age after evidence of intimate partner violence. Other risk factors for VTE were often associated. In most cases, women did not report this state of violence at the first consultation and their doctors did not suspect it. We imagine that it is an underdiagnosed situation and should call for a systematic evaluation. Screening for intimate partner abuse could have significant consequences, both on protecting women who are affected by it and better evaluating the risk of bleeding with anticoagulant treatment in this situation.
