Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI are complex. This meta-analysis was conducted to clarify the risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI. The Cochrane Library, PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Med Data Database, and VIP Database were searched to identify studies reporting on risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI. The meta-analysis included 25 studies. Findings showed that risk of VTE in patients with SCI was significantly associated with middle- and old-age (OR = 2.08, 95%CI, 1.47, 2.95), male sex (OR = 1.41, 95%CI, 1.26, 1.59), complete paralysis (OR = 3.69, 95%CI, 2.60, 5.24), personal/family history of venous thrombosis (OR = 1.95, 95%CI, 1.35, 2.81), history of smoking (OR = 2.67, 95%CI, 1.79, 3.98), lack of compression therapy (OR = 2.44, 95%CI, 1.59, 3.73), presence of lower limb/pelvic fracture (OR = 3.47, 95%CI, 1.79, 6.75), paraplegia (OR = 1.81, 95%CI, 1.49, 2.19), and diabetes (OR = 4.24, 95%CI, 2.75, 6.52). The meta-analysis identified 9 risk factors for VTE in patients with SCI. Healthcare providers should be aware of the risk factors for VTE when rehabilitating patients with SCI.
