Objective
To investigate the clinical features, image findings, and potential risk factors of vena cava syndrome (VCS) inBehçet's syndrome (BS).
MethodsWe conducted a case-control study in our BS registry database from 2012 to 2021. Fifty-five BS patients with VCS were enrolled in the case group, and two BS patients without VCS were selected as controls for each VCS case using risk-set-sampling. Multivariable logistic regression was used to detect the risk factors of VCS, and the outcome of these patients was also analysed. We also conducted an exploratory study to evaluate spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging in detecting thrombosis in BS patients with inferior VCS (IVCS).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
