The Israel Medical Association Journal... Dec 2022Data regarding risk factors for superficial thrombophlebitis (STP) cases presenting to a hospital is limited.
BACKGROUND
Data regarding risk factors for superficial thrombophlebitis (STP) cases presenting to a hospital is limited.
OBJECTIVES
To investigate and stratify clinical and laboratory risk factors for STP.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective case control study comparing patients presenting to the emergency department with STP and age- and gender-matched controls. We collected data on multiple risk factors and five blood indices.
RESULTS
The study comprised 151 patients and matched controls. Patients with STP were more likely to have varicose veins (43.7% vs. 5.3%, P < 0.001), recent immobilization (14.6% vs. 1.3%, P < 0.001), obesity (36.4% vs. 18.5%, P = 0.001), a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) or STP (27.2% vs. 0.7%, P < 0.001), and inherited thrombophilia (9.3% vs. 1.3%, P = 0.002). Following multivariate analysis, all five risk factors remained significant, with a history of VTE or STP associated with the largest risk (odds ratio [OR] 35.7), followed by immobilization (OR 22.3), varicose veins (OR 12.1), inherited thrombophilia (OR 6.1), and obesity (OR 2.7). Mean platelet volume was higher (8.5 vs 7.9 fl, P = 0.003) in STP cases.
CONCLUSIONS
A history of VTE or STP, immobilization, varicose veins, inherited thrombophilia, and obesity serve as independent clinical risk factors for STP presenting to hospital.

Clinical and histologic characteristics of superficial migratory thrombophlebitis are demonstrated in this report of a thirty-five-year-old man who showed recurring tender linear erythematous lesions of the lower extremities. The importance of investigating patients with this condition for evidence of associated diseases, particularly malignancy, is emphasized.
