Factors associated with thrombosis among solid organ cancer patients in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This study highlights the prevalence of CAT at baseline and the incidence of CAT during follow-up, similar to other studies. Patients' clinical characteristics were associated with CAT at baseline while disease and treatment factors were associated with CAT at follow-up. These findings emphasise the need for targeted thromboprophylaxis in high-risk populations and highlight the importance of risk stratification tools such as the Khorana score for optimal patient management. Future studies involving larger patient cohorts and longer study duration would be beneficial. These findings provide valuable insights to inform clinical decision-making, optimise patient outcomes, and minimise potential risks.
