Venous Disease Thromboembolic and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Completed
Conditions
Lateral Amyotrophic Sclerosis
Venous Thrombo-embolic Desease
Registration Number
NCT04446325
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Brest
Brief Summary

Venous thrombo-embolic (VTE) rates could be high in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Indeed, the rate of VTE in this specific population could be 7-fold higher in this population. Predictiv factors of VTE in patients with ALS are mobility reduction and neurological paralysis. However, to our knowledge, medical littérature is poor concerning VTE and ALS association.

Our first aim is to define annual rate of VTE in ALS population.Then we aim to identify predictiv factors of VTE in this specific population. The studied population is Brest universitary hospital cohort of ALS patient included between 2000 and 2019.
