    Abstract:
    To investigate the association between platelet (PLT) indices and preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). A total of 1391 patients were enrolled. We created receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve using the ratio of PLT indices to DVT before TJA, divided the enrolled patients into groups based on the cut-off value, and then analyzed risk factors for DVT before TJA in the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. Preoperative DVT occurred in 103 cases. Based on the ROC curve, we determined that the cut-off values for PLT, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), and plateletcrit (PCT) were 202 × 109/L, 11.4 fL, 13.2 fL, 34.6%, and 0.228%. And the areas under the curve were 0.606, 0.605, 0.617, 0.616, and 0.598. Multivariate binary regression analysis revealed that the risk of preoperative DVT in TJA patients with PLT≥202 × 109/L, MPV≤11.4 fL, PDW≤13.2 fL, P-LCR≤34.6%, and PCT≥0.228% increased by 2.32 (P < .001, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.50-3.60]), 1.86 (P < .001, 95% CI [1.22-2.83]), 2.17 (P < .001, 95% CI [1.43-3.31]), 2.27 (P < .001, 95% CI [1.50-3.45]), and 1.76 times (P = .013, 95% CI [1.13-2.76]), respectively. Age, P < .001, odds ratio (OR) = 1.08, 95% CI [1.04-1.11]; corticosteroid use, P = .011, OR = 3.66, 95% CI [1.34-9.96]. We found that increased PLT count and PCT, decreased MPV, PDW, and P-LCR, old age, and corticosteroid use were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT in elderly TJA patients.
