Abstract

This prospective study was conducted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital over a period of one year among the diagnosed patients of DVT in medicine units to find out the disease association and risk factors. Mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 37.8years with a standard deviation of 12.73 years with an even distribution. There was a mild female preponderance (M: F=2:3). 72.5% and 27.5% of the patients were admitted with unilateral and bilateral leg swelling respectively. No established risk factors was found about 30% of case OCP and malignancy account for highest number of association almost 22.5 % to each and other associated conditions were congestive cardiac failure (7.5%), post partum period (7.5%), renal impairment (7.5%) and prolonged immobilization (2.5%) . 92.5% patients enjoyed resolution while 7.5 patients died. Among three patients who died, two were male and one was female. However, thrombotic scan was not available and can not be offered to any patients. Almost all the findings of this study correlate well with other previous studies except age distribution for which further evaluation may be necessary.
