Abstract

Introduction

There is concern regarding the high incidence of thrombosis in plastic surgery patients. For this reason, we wanted to compare the results of the Caprini/Pannucci score in patients with and without a past history of thrombosis admitted for aesthetic plastic surgery.

Methods

This was a case–control study of 152 patients undergoing aesthetic plastic surgery procedures. We formed two groups: Group I had 70 patients who had thrombosis after aesthetic plastic surgery and group II had 82 patients without thrombosis. We studied the considered risk factors for thrombosis. We weighted the factors according to the OR and linear regressions. We then related them to the Caprini/Pannucci score.

Results

Patients in group I had a score of 5.68 versus 3.45 in group II (p < 0.001). There was a 9.86% increase in thrombosis for each increased point in the rating. A higher effectiveness of the Caprini score was found in the high-score group; the greatest flaw was in the low-scoring group. The sensitivity was 75.71%, and the specificity was 70.73%. The factors with the greatest impact were the infiltration of fat in the buttocks, degree of obesity and time of surgery. There was an increased risk of thrombosis in patients with gluteal fat injections, varicose veins, obesity and immune disorders as well as those who had previously given birth.

Conclusion

To increase the effectiveness of the score and to use the score as a basis on which to decide upon prophylactic care, it is necessary to modify the score and add some factors.
