Abstract:Background: In order to reduce the risk of leakage of cytotoxic agents, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) are widely used in patients diagnosed with malignancy before chemotherapy. While inflammation has been demonstrated to be associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), the connection between systemic immune inflammation indexes and the formation of PICC-DVT remains unclear. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the association between PICC-DVT and systemic immune inflammation indexes including pl… Show more
