    • Abstract

    Background
    Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the common complication found in malignancy. Currently, there were no current diagnosis guideline which could help to identify DVT in lung cancer. This study, is a pilot study to identify and see the magnitude at DVT proportion among lung cancer in our hospital. The objective of this study is to find proportion of deep vein thrombosis among lung cancer patients which is determined by clinical criteria such as Wells’ score in Persahabatan Hospital.

    Methods
    The study design is using a cross-sectional method. We examined 147 patients with pathological confirmed lung cancer who were hospitalized within September 2012 to February 2013. We excluded the lung cancer patients with infection comorbidity. The hemostatis function included PT, APTT, and D dimmer were conducted along with clinical Wells’ score criteria.

    Results
    Seventy eight of 147 sobjects were analyze in this study. They were mostly male (69,2%) with range of ages were 30 –79 years old with predominant age group of 51-60 years old (33,3%). Adenocarcinoma was found in 57,7%. This study found that deep vein thrombosis proportion is 23, 1% using Wells’ score. Clinical characteristics such as gender, age, smoking history, cancer cell type, stage of the diseases, performance status and homeostasis function did not have correlation with DVT whereas the D dimmer >500 have correlation with DVT.

    Conclusion
    The DVT proportion among lung cancer patients in Persahabatan Hospital is similar found in some studies in other countries which are approximately 21%. This study revealed that the simple and practical application of Wells’ score in determining DVT is still have valuable role in daily practice, especially in hospital with limited facility.
