The purpose of this study is to identify and validate new imaging biomarkers allowing an individual phenotyping of patient with venous thrombo-embolism (VTE), mainly in terms of recurrence risk assessment and to distinguish provoked from unprovoked VTE. To do so, the investigators will create a retrospective imaging database including multiple imaging modalities, performed at diagnosis of the VTE.
Using a large imaging data in VTE (including ultrasound, CT-scan and Ventilation/Perfusion lung scan), the investigators will search for association between imaging data and VTE phenotypes, mainly in terms of recurrence risk assessment and to distinguish provoked from unprovoked VTE. Then, using a radiomic approach, the investigators will try to identify new imaging biomarkers able to provide an individual phenotyping in these patients. These imaging biomarkers will be validated using an internal cross validation technique.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
2,208
Brest University Hospital
Brest, Finistere, France
VTE recurrence
VTE recurrence, including Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Vein Trombosis
Time frame: At enrollment (retrospective follow up to 2 years)
Distinguishing provoked from unprovoked VTE
Provoked VTE is defined by the presence within the three past months, of a major risk factor (i.e. Surgery, Immobilization \> 3 days, Hormonal Treatment, Pregnancy, Cancer)
Time frame: At enrollment
Individual phenotyping
Correlation of the identified biomarkers with VTE phenotypes (familial history, risk factor in case of provoked VTE, and biological biomarkers as fibrinogen, D Dimeres, Hemoglobin, Platelets, CRP, heterozygous or homozygous FV Leiden, Prothrombin G20210A).
Time frame: At enrollment
