Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to evaluate the influence of disaster area environment on echogenic findings, we conducted a lower extremity venous echo and hemostasis function test for the detection of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the afflicted area of the tsunami. The DVT detection rate of the subject during the period increased every year (2 - 5 years after the disaster). Flatfold vein dilatation findings were independent risk factors for DVT detection and persistence of DVT. In the DVT duration group, the D-dimer value was significantly higher than that of the lost group and the DVT negative group. The subjects who had dyslipidemia increased yearly, and in the final year, the prothrombin activator inhibitor - 1 was found to be significantly elevated in the DVT positive group. From the above, there is a possibility that the ecological findings have been influenced by changes in the afflicted life caused by the environment.
