Abstract

Objective To determine the cause-specific mortality from and incidence of transmural intestinal infarction caused by mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) in a population-based study and to evaluate the findings at autopsy by evaluating autopsies and surgical procedures. Methods All clinical (n = 23,446) and forensic (n = 7569) autopsies performed in the city of Malmö between 1970 and 1982 (population 264,000 to 230,000) were evaluated. The autopsy rate was 87%. The surgical procedures were performed in 1970, 1976, and 1982. Autopsy protocols coded for intestinal ischemia or mesenteric vessel occlusion, or both, were identified in a database. In all, 997 of 23,446 clinical and 9 of 7,569 forensic autopsy protocols were analyzed. A 3-year sample of the surgical procedures, comprising 21.3% (11,985 of 56,251) of all operations performed during the entire study period, was chosen to capture trends of diagnostic and surgical activity. In a nested case-control study within the clinical autopsy cohort, four MVT-free controls, matched for gender, age at death, and year of death were identified for each fatal MVT case to evaluate the clinical autopsy findings. Results Four forensic and 23 clinical autopsies demonstrated MVT with intestinal infarction. Seven patients were operated on, of whom six survived. The cause-specific mortality ratio was 0.9:1000 autopsies. The incidence was 1.8/100,000 person years. At autopsy, portal vein thrombosis and systemic venous thromboembolism occurred in 2 of 3 and 1 of 2 of the cases, respectively. Obesity was an independent risk factor for fatal MVT (P =.021). Conclusions The estimated incidence of MVT with transmural intestinal infarction was 1.8/100,000 person years. Portal vein thrombosis, systemic venous thromboembolism and obesity were associated with fatal MVT.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
