The Risk Assessment Scale for Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheter (PICC) Related Thrombosis in Cancer Patients

Sun Yat-sen University281 enrolled

Overview

The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy and clinical predictive value of the Michigan Risk Score, Caprini Risk Assessment Model , and Maneval Scale（Chinese version） in predicting PICC-related thrombosis. Patients who will receive PICC placement will be evaluated by using the Michigan Risk Score, Caprini Risk Assessment Model , and Maneval Scale the day during PICC placement, 24-48h after PICC placement and every time patients receive PICC maintenance.

Patients with PICC placement will be assessed by the Michigan Risk Score, Caprini Risk Assessment Model , Maneval scale（Chinese version） to predict the risk of PICC-related thrombosis. The time of evaluation are the day during PICC placement, 24-48h after PICC placement, and every time when patients receive PICC maintenance.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

PICC thrombosis

symptomatic thrombosis，diagnosed by symptoms such as pain, tenderness and swelling of the affected part and the verification of color doppler ultrasound of venous vessels

Time frame: through study completion，up to 1 year

The Michigan Risk Score

The risk score will be assessed. In this scale，risk factors associated with PICC-DVT included: history of DVT; multi-lumen PICC; active cancer; presence of another CVC when the PICC was placed; and white blood cell count greater than 12 000. The total score on the scale are 0 to 14 points, with a higher score indicates higher risk of thrombosis.

Time frame: From date of PICC catheterization until the date of PICC removal or date of occurrence of PICC related thrombosis, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.

Maneval Scale

The risk score will be assessed. This scale includes 45 risk factors associated with PICC thrombosis. The total score on the scale are 0 to 45 points, with a higher score indicates higher risk of thrombosis.

Time frame: From date of PICC catheterization until the date of PICC removal or date of occurrence of PICC related thrombosis, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.

Caprini Risk Assessment Model

The risk score will be assessed. This scale includes more than 40 risk factors associated with PICC thrombosis. In this scale，a higher score indicates higher risk of thrombosis.

Time frame: From date of PICC catheterization until the date of PICC removal or date of occurrence of PICC related thrombosis, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months.
