Nursing home (NH) residency confers increased venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk; however, risk-stratification/prevention guidelines currently rely on non-NH data. Provide NH-specific estimates to assess whether VTE risk factors identified for the general population apply to NH residents. Population-based case-control study Olmsted County, MN All County residents with symptomatic objectively-diagnosed incident VTE while a NH resident 1988–2000 (N=182); two age- sex- calendar-year-matched non-VTE Olmsted County NH residents per case (N=364) Provider-linked medical records were reviewed to obtain information on active malignancy; recent hospitalization, surgery, or trauma/fracture as of index (case’s VTE date; respective date for controls). Risk factor prevalence and VTE-associated odds ratios (OR) were estimated and compared with previously obtained data for all Olmsted County residents 1988–2000. For analyses, both groups were limited to age ≥65 years. Among NH residents, active malignancy, recent hospitalization and recent surgery conferred significantly increased VTE risk, but the magnitude of risk appeared much lower than general population estimates-- e.g., OR (95% CI) for major surgery was 2.5 (1.4–4.3) for NH residents versus 11 (7.0–17) for general population. In general, the prevalence of all evaluated VTE risk factors appeared much higher among NH controls compared to general population controls. Thromboprophylaxis rates appeared higher for NH cases/controls compared to the general population; disconcertingly, 47% of NH cases received prophylaxis. While general population VTE risk factors (active cancer and recent hospitalization or surgery) can identify NH residents at increased risk for VTE, these exposures do not adequately stratify VTE risk for thromboprophylaxis recommendations. Further research into NH-specific risk factors and prophylaxis effectiveness is required.
