Résumé

the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Behcet's disease (BD) is around 40%, though recognition of BD in a thrombosis clinic has been poorly addressed. to evaluate the prevalence of signs and symptoms leading to the diagnosis of BD in a thrombosis clinic compared to patients attending a general haematology clinic and to healthy controls. Design: cross-sectional case-double control anonymous questionnaire survey. Participants: consecutive patients with spontaneous VTE (n=97) attending a thrombosis clinic, consecutive patients from a general haematology (GH) clinic (n=89) and controls (CTR). BD was diagnosed in 1.03% of VTE participants, in 2.2% of GH participants and in 1.2% of healthy CTR. Exhaustion was more common reported in participants from the VTE group (15.6%) than in those from the GH group (10.3%) and from the healthy CTR (3%) (p=0.06); the sum of signs and symptoms of BD clustered in the VTE group (89.5%) compared to the GH (72.4%) and the CTR (59.7%) (p<0.0001). BD may be diagnosed in 1 every 100 patients with VTE attending a thrombosis clinic and in 2 every 100 patients attending a GH clinic: awareness must be raised not to under-diagnose or misdiagnose BD in these settings as management of VTE in BD deviates from the norm.

Background UNASSIGNED
the prevalence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in Behcet's disease (BD) is around 40%, though recognition of BD in a thrombosis clinic has been poorly addressed.
Objective UNASSIGNED
to evaluate the prevalence of signs and symptoms leading to the diagnosis of BD in a thrombosis clinic compared to patients attending a general haematology clinic and to healthy controls. Design: cross-sectional case-double control anonymous questionnaire survey. Participants: consecutive patients with spontaneous VTE (n=97) attending a thrombosis clinic, consecutive patients from a general haematology (GH) clinic (n=89) and controls (CTR).
Results UNASSIGNED
BD was diagnosed in 1.03% of VTE participants, in 2.2% of GH participants and in 1.2% of healthy CTR. Exhaustion was more common reported in participants from the VTE group (15.6%) than in those from the GH group (10.3%) and from the healthy CTR (3%) (p=0.06); the sum of signs and symptoms of BD clustered in the VTE group (89.5%) compared to the GH (72.4%) and the CTR (59.7%) (p<0.0001).
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
BD may be diagnosed in 1 every 100 patients with VTE attending a thrombosis clinic and in 2 every 100 patients attending a GH clinic: awareness must be raised not to under-diagnose or misdiagnose BD in these settings as management of VTE in BD deviates from the norm.
