ABSTRACT

Background: Venous thrombo embolism (VTE) its a form of vascular disorder become important disease condition now a days. Basically Venous thrombo embolism is term given for both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT is defined as a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein usually in the legs, often in the calf and thigh veins. It is 3rd largest cause for mortality and morbidity. Deep vein thrombosis results 3 main factor are as: increased ?stickiness? of the blood, damage to the blood vessel wall, and sluggish blood flow. Venous thrombo embolism is serious preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in India and other developing countries. Undiagnosed and untreated Deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities accounts for the vast majority of the 600,000 cases of pulmonary embolism in United States each year, Approximately where as two third manifest deep vein thrombosis alone. Objectives 1. To screen the deep vein thrombosis among factory workers 2. To assess the risk factor of deep vein thrombosis among factory workers 3. To associate the findings of screening and risk factors of deep vein thrombosis among factory workers with their selected demographic variables Materials and Methods: An Evaluatory research approach used in cross sectional descriptive study was undertaken screening and risk factor associated with deep vein thrombosis among factory worker of Wardha district. The sample was selected using a non probability purposive sampling method. In this study 120 factory workers from factory of Wardha district as selected as sample. Factory workers fulfilled the inclusion criteria were selected. For screening of deep vein thrombosis standardized clinically validated Well‘s criteria used and a self-structured questionnaire for assessing the risk factor. Results: After the detailed analysis: the result of the study shows that factory workers 5(4.17%) were having high probability risk of developing deep vein thrombosis, 49(40.83%) were having moderate probability of developing deep vein thrombosis. Were as 66(55%) of factory workers were having low probability score of developing deep vein thrombosis as per well‘s criteria. Assessment of risk factors of deep vein thrombosis that 4(3.33%) factory workers were having respiratory disease, 9(7.50%) were having history of heart disease, 2(1.67%) were having family history of deep vein thrombosis, 2(1.67%) were having history of varicose vein, 25(20.83%)were having recent or past history of major surgeries, 9(7.50%) were having history of previous injury or trauma or fracture, 1(0.83%) were having history of inflammatory bowel disease,10(8.33%) were having history of obesity, 61(50.83%) were having long distance travel history, 29(24.17%) were having history of smoking, The association of risk factors with demographic variables shows significant with BMI and association with screening of deep vein thrombosis in relation to food pattern shows statistically significant. Conclusion: The findings suggests that the incidence of DVT with the growing epidemics of obesity and food pattern. Hence improved preventive strategies and early recognition of DVT in obese individuals are of critical importance.
