Tissue factor pathway inhibitor is associated with risk of venous thromboembolism and all-cause mortality in patients with cancer

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common complication in patients with cancer. Data on the role of natural inhibitors of coagulation for occurrence of cancer-associated VTE are limited, thus, we investigated the association of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) with risk of VTE and all-cause mortality in patients with cancer. Total TFPI antigen levels were measured with a commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay in patients included in the Vienna Cancer and Thrombosis Study, a prospective observational cohort study with the primary outcome VTE. Competing risk analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed to explore the association of TFPI levels with VTE and all-cause mortality. TFPI was analyzed in 898 patients (median age 62 years; interquartile range [IQR], 53-68; 407 (45%) women). Sixty-seven patients developed VTE and 387 died (24-month cumulative risk 7.5% and 42.1%, respectively). Patients had median TFPI levels at study inclusion of 56.4 ng/mL (IQR, 45.7-70.0), with highest levels in tumor types known to have a high risk of VTE (gastroesophageal, pancreatic and brain cancer: 62.0 ng/mL; IQR, 52.0-75.0). In multivariable analysis adjusting for age, sex, cancer type and stage, TFPI levels were associated with VTE risk (subdistribution hazard ratio per doubling =1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-2.57). When patients with high and intermediate/low VTE risk were analyzed separately, the association remained independently associated in the high risk group only (subdistribution hazard ratio =2.63, 95% CI: 1.40-4.94). TFPI levels were independently associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio =2.36, 95% CI: 1.85-3.00). In cancer patients increased TFPI levels are associated with VTE risk, specifically in patients with high-risk tumor types, and with all-cause mortality.
