ABSTRACT=Objective: This study aimed to determine the associated risk factors for proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with lower extremity and pelvic-acetabular fractures.The medical records of 4,056 patients with lower extremity and pelvicacetabular fractures were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were classified into proximal or non-proximal DVT groups. Logistic regression models were used to determine the independent risk variables for proximal DVT. The predictive value of the Proximal DVT in Patients with Traumatic Fractures...Liu et al.
