Abstract

Preclinical data suggest that oncogene (EGFR and KRAS) events regulate tumor procoagulant activity. However, few studies have prospectively investigated the clinical relevance between the presence of EGFR or KRAS mutations and occurrence of venous thromboembolism(VTE) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A total of 605 Chinese patients with newly diagnosed NSCLC were included and were followed for a maximum period of 4.5 years. EGFR and KRAS mutations were determined by amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction method at inclusion. The main outcome was objectively confirmed VTE. Of the 605 patients, 40.3% (244) had EGFR mutations and 10.2% (62) of patients had KRAS mutations. In multivariable analysis including age, sex, tumor histology, tumor stage, performance status, EGFR and KRAS status, EGFR wild-type (sub-distribution hazard ratio 1.81, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.07) were associated with the increased risk of VTE. In competing risk analysis, the probability of developing VTE was 8.3% in those with and 13.2% in those without EGFR mutations after 1 year; after 2 years, the corresponding risks were 9.7 and 15.5% (Gray test P = 0.047). EGFR mutations have a negative association with the risk of VTE in Chinese patients with NSCLC.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 May 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Respiratory Research
#2,702
of 3,062 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#266,126
of 341,024 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Respiratory Research
#73
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,062 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.9. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,024 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
