Age as a key risk factor for deep vein thrombosis in patients with lower limb cellulitis
Age, particularly being 70 years or older, was identified as an independent risk factor for the development of DVT in patients with lower limb cellulitis. These findings suggest that advanced age plays a critical role in DVT development in cellulitis patients, and further investigation is needed to explore the underlying mechanisms.
