Thrombotic Risk Assessment, P-Selectin, and Thromboprophylaxis Use Among, Cancer Patients at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar

Abstract

The risk of VTE among cancer patients ranges from intermediate to high, going by the modified Khorana risk score irrespective of the P selectin level, with underutilization of thromboprophylaxis. There is little adherence to the Khorana score in our setting, hence the need for greater application and knowledge of this predictive score in clinical practice to improve outcomes and quality of life.
