More Details: Abstract Tuberculosis (TB) patients who develop venous thromboembolism (VTE) have poor clinical outcomes. This study aimed to explore the risk factors and the prognosis of TB patients with VTE. A total of 11 267 with TB patients from the Zhejiang University‐affiliated Chest Hospital, China, were enrolled between January 2016 and January 2020. A total of 107 TB patients with VTE were selected as the VTE group. Patients in the control group were randomly screened in a 1:1 ratio between the VTE and control groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors associated with VTE in TB patients. Of the 214 patients, 145 (60.17%) were male, 69 (32.2%) were female, with an average age of 62.21 ± 19.35. The incidence of VTE in TB patients was 0.95%. Using a univariate analysis, it was found that age, fever, dyspnea, lower limb edema, respiratory failure, malignant tumor, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, D—dimer, and hemoglobin levels were different between the two groups (P
