Monocytes are a part of the innate immune system and up-regulation may indicate an ongoing inflammatory response or infectious disease and has lately been associated with a moderate risk of suffering from VTE. This prospectively study aims to compare the incidence of pulmonary embolism with markers of coagulation and compare it to the absolute monocyte count.  A consecutive cohort of 250 patients with biopsy proven upper gastrointestinal cancer (i.e. pancreas, biliary tract, esophagus and gastric cancer) where included at the time of cancer diagnosis and before treatment. All patients underwent bilateral compression ultrasonography for detection of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Of these 143 had an additionally pulmonary angiografi (CTPA) with the staging computer tomography. 13 of 250 patients (5.2%) had a DVT and 11 of 143 (7.7%) had CTPA proven PE. PE was significantly more common among patients with elevated D-dimer (OR 11.62, 95%CI: 1.13\u2013119, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.039) and elevated absolute monocyte count (OR 7.59, 95%CI: 1.37\u201341.98, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.020).

The sensitivity of absolute monocyte count was 63.6 (95%CI: 30.8\u201389.1) and specificity 80.3 (95%CI: 72.5\u201386.7), with a negative predictive value of 96.4 (95%CI: 91\u201399) in PE. An increased absolute monocyte count was detected in patients suffering from PE but not DVT, suggesting a possible interaction with the innate immune system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11239-023-02897-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]],"date-time":"2023-10-04T05:01:30Z","timestamp":1696395690000},"page":"11-20","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Monocyte recruitment in venous pulmonary embolism at time of cancer diagnosis in upper gastrointestinal cancer patients"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Sarah S.","family":"Jakobsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jens B.","family":"Fr\u00f8kjaer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rune V.","family":"Fisker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S\u00f8ren R.","family":"Kristensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ole","family":"Thorlacius-Ussing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2489-0848","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anders C.","family":"Larsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,4]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"2897_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"832e13","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2013.02.024","volume":"126","author":"V Tagalakis","year":"2013","unstructured":"Tagalakis V, Patenaude V, Kahn SR, Suissa S (2013) Incidence of and mortality from venous thromboembolism in a real-world population: the Q-VTE study cohort.
