Objective:Trauma patients are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolic (VTE) events. We examined the relationship between prophylactic inferior vena cava (IVC) filter use, mortality, and VTE.Summary Background Data:The prevalence of prophylactic placement of IVC filters has increased among trauma patients. However, there exists little data on the overall efficacy of prophylactic IVC filters with regard to outcomes.Methods:Trauma quality collaborative data from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed. Patients were excluded with no signs of life, Injury Severity Score< 9, hospitalization< 3 days, or who received IVC filter after occurrence of VTE event. Risk-adjusted rates of IVC filter placement were calculated and hospitals placed into quartiles of IVC filter use. Mortality rates by quartile were compared. We also determined the association of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with the presence of an IVC filter, accounting for type and timing of initiation of pharmacological VTE prophylaxis.Results:A prophylactic IVC filter was placed in 803 (2%) of 39,456 patients. Hospitals exhibited significant variability (0.6% to 9.6%) in adjusted rates of IVC filter utilization. Rates of IVC placement within quartiles were 0.7%, 1.3%, 2.1%, and 4.6%, respectively. IVC filter use quartiles showed no variation in mortality. Adjusting for pharmacological VTE prophylaxis and patient factors, prophylactic IVC filter placement was associated with an increased incidence of DVT (OR= 1.83; 95% CI, 1.15–2.93, P-value= 0.01).Conclusions:High rates of prophylactic IVC filter placement have no effect on reducing trauma patient mortality and are associated with an increase in DVT events.BACKGROUNDThe first inferior vena cava (IVC) filter was developed by a surgeon: Lazar J. Greenfield, MD, and a petroleum engineer: Garman O. Kimmel. The device was originally conceived as a secondary component of a catheter-based approach to the management of acute massive pulmonary embolism (PE). 1 Hence, the initial purpose for placement of an IVC filter was to decrease the incidence of recurrent PE and reduce associated mortality. Accepted indications for IVC filter placement are characteristically therapeutic, including proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or PE and contraindication to anticoagulation, failure of anticoagulation, massive PE, or severe cardiopulmonary disease with DVT. 2
