摘要
The main objectives of therapeutic trials in venous thromboembolism (VTE) are to prevent recurrent VTE, major bleeding and death. While these outcomes are indeed highly relevant, they are also rare and do not fully capture the overall functional outcome of VTE patients. Importantly, functional limitations after VTE are prevalent after both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism occurring in up to 50% of patients. These post-VTE syndromes are associated with a decreased quality of life, higher risk of depressive disorders, unemployment and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Because of the major impact of functional limitations on individual patients and society as a whole, development of tools able to capture functional outcomes in clinical trials are urgently needed. We anticipate that a standardized post-VTE functional status scale will aid in demarcating effective and ineffective VTE therapies on functional outcomes in trials with appropriately powered sample sizes, as well as pave the road for value-based healthcare. The scale that we have in mind covers the entire spectrum of functional outcomes ranging from no symptoms to death. Moreover, it focuses on both limitations in usual activity as well as changes in lifestyle. The scale is not meant to replace current diagnostic or prognostic scores for post-VTE syndromes, but to be used as an outcome measure to evaluate the overall consequences of VTE on functional status. This review is a call for action to the VTE community to join forces and support further development of the proposed scale, a process of which we summarize the necessary steps.
