ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the association of extremes in body weight EBW and outcomes in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), recurrent VTE, major bleeding, and clinically relevant non-major bleeding were compared between patients with body weight <60120 kg.
METHODS: Consecutive patients enrolled in the Mayo Clinic VTE Registry (03/28/2013-8/31/2019) with acute VTE were followed prospectively. Patient status was assessed in person, by mailing a written questionnaire, or by a scripted phone interview.
RESULTS: Amongst 2577 patients with the weight ranging from 27.0 kg to 263.2 kg, 2123 (82%) had a bodyweight between 60 - 120 kg, 223 (8.7%) bodyweight <60120 kg. Patients with bodyweight <60kg120kg and cancer on rivaroxaban had higher VTE recurrence compared to bodyweight 60-120kg group (p=0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of acute VTE is associated with a higher incidence of bleeding in patients with bodyweight <60kg.120kg on rivaroxaban.
