“…For example, 10% increase in uptake which increases over subsequent days (9, 15 % increase in uptake or more for at least two succeeding days (12, 13,20,32,41), 20% increase in uptake (23,35,43) or 30% increase in uptake (30). We found the 15% criterion to be valuable and in good agreement with the results from phlebography on patients with fracture of the femoral neck (7).…”

The frequency of postoperative venous thrombosis and the prophylactic effect of dextran 40 and 70 were studied in 90 otherwise healthy patients undergoing cholecystectomy. The '%fibrinogen test was employed as the diagnostic method. The frequency of thrombosis was very low (1.1 %) compared with other investigations on patients undergoing elective general surgery. Thus nothing can be concluded about the prophylactic effect of dextran from this series, but it can be presumed that this type of patient does not need routine prophylaxis against deep venous thrombosis.

“…With this technique the incidence of venous thrombosis in the control group was 29%. This is slightly lower than that reported by other authors (Murray et al, 1970;Maurer et al, 1971;Nicolaides et al, 1971), presumably because they included the high-risk older age group (Maurer et al, 1971).…”

“…Many authors have reported a high incidence of 125I fibrinogen deep vein thromboses following acute myocardial infarction. Nicolaides et al (22) reported 62% in patients with cardiac decompensation as opposed to 7% in those whose cardiac function remained normal clinically. Warlow et al (23) found a 60% incidence of deep vein thrombosis in the paralyzed limb in 30 patients with a recent cerebral vascular accident while only 7% were positive on the uninvolved side.…”
