BACKGROUND: Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) affects >350,000 patients each year in the United States. Contemporary rehospitalization rates and predictors of acute DVT have not been well-characterized. We aimed to evaluate the all-cause 30-day readmission rate and its association with catheter-directed thrombolysis and vena cava filters in patients with proximal and caval DVT.

METHODS: Patients with an index hospitalization for acute proximal lower extremity DVT were evaluated for unplanned readmission rates at 30 days using the Nationwide Readmission Database from 2016 to 2017. We used Cox proportional hazard model to determine the predictors of 30-day readmissions and their association with inferior vena cava (IVC) filter and CDT use.

RESULTS: We identified 58,306 adult patients with an index hospitalization for acute proximal DVT. The unplanned 30-day rehospitalization rate was 14.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 14.5-15.0%). There were 4995 patients (10.0%) who underwent CDT and 6085 (12.2%) who underwent IVC filter placement. In multivariable analysis, only CDT was associated with a lower hazard for rehospitalization (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% CI, 0.71-0.84; P < .001), whereas IVC filter placement (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.19-1.34; P < .001), Charlson Comorbidity Index of >3 (HR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.38-1.56; P < .001), malignancy (HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.34-1.57; P < .001), and length of stay >5 days (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.33-1.46; P < .001), and acute kidney injury (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.11-1.25; P < .001) were associated with higher readmission rates.

CONCLUSIONS: The 30-day unplanned rehospitalization rate continues to be high in patients with acute proximal DVT. CDT was associated with lower rehospitalization rates, whereas IVC filter placement was associated with increased rehospitalization rates.
