A sazonalidade do tromboembolismo venoso no clima subtropical de São Paulo

Abstract: CONTEXTO: Os fatores desencadeantes da doença tromboembólica venosa vêm sendo cada vez melhor identificados. Causas externas podem influir na sua ocorrência, e algum destaque tem sido dado a fatores climáticos. Nada se sabe quanto a essa interferência em nossa latitude. OBJETIVOS: Analisar se há diferença na incidência do tromboembolismo venoso de acordo com as estações do ano, num hospital da cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, cujo clima é categorizado como subtropical. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado trabalho retrospectivo… Show more

“…16 During colder months, development of VTE may also be related to reduced physical activity and to vasoconstriction induced by low temperatures, which reduces blood flow in the lower limbs. 6 Additionally, respiratory tract infections during the winter may induce a hypercoagulable state due to increased fibrinogen levels, which was also observed by Brown et al, 7 Boulay et al, 12 and Gallerani et al 8 Furthermore, less time exposed to sunlight causes reduced melatonin production and increases coagulability. 6 In cold conditions, some coagulation factors are elevated in vitro, such as platelet counts and platelet aggregation rates, while there is also a reduction in plasma volume, which increases the viscosity of the blood and of fibrinogen, providing conditions that increase the number of thrombosis cases.…”

“…They analyzed 7,682,000 cases of patients with VTE, 2,457,000 with pulmonary thromboembolism, and 5,767,000 with DVT, but did not find any correlation between seasonal variation and incidence of VTE. 5 However, Kleinfelder et al 6 analyzed 955 cases of VTE from 1996 to 2003 and detected a higher incidence during hot months. In contrast, Brown et al 7 performed a retrospective analysis of 37,336 cases over 20 years in Scotland, reporting a higher incidence of VTE during the coldest month (p < 0.0001).…”

“…Estudos têm demonstrado que a monitorização deve ser feita até oito semanas após a alta, a fim de evitar o desenvolvimento da TVP. Kleinfelder et al (13) apontam para outro fator, a temperatura quente, no seu estudo de sazonalidade do tromboembolismo em São Paulo. Tais achados podem ser explicados pelo fato de que a TVP tem repercussões sistêmicas graves e fatais, por isso é de extrema importância a prevenção e a monitorização do paciente.…”
