ABSTRACT
Background:
A majority of patients included in risk assessment models (RAMs) developed to predict venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in lymphoma were non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Our study aims to evaluate the incidence and predictors of VTE, utilizing different RAMs, in patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) treated with adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD).Methods:
Adult patients with cHL, treated and followed at our center, were included. Correlations between different variables, Khorana score, and thrombosis in lymphoma (ThroLy) RAMs with VTE were examined using Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analysis.Results:
A total of 321 patients were included, with a median age of 29 (range 18-83) years. Of them, 169 (52.6%) had advanced-stage disease. Combined modality treatment was given to 169 (52.6%) patients. A total of 52 (16.2%) patients had relapsed or refractory disease. VTE were reported in 15 (4.7%) patients and were mostly during the administration of first-line (n = 8, 53.3%), or salvage chemotherapy (n = 6, 40.0%). There was no correlation between a Khorana score > 2 (p = 0.689) or ThroLy score > 3 (p = 0.335) and VTE. Older age (p = 0.014) and relapsed or refractory disease (p = 0.003) significantly correlated with VTE.Conclusions:
VTE are uncommon in cHL. The commonly used RAMs failed to predict VTE. However, older age and relapsed or refractory disease significantly increased this risk.
