A retrospective study was conducted on 51 patients undergoing hip fracture surgery to investigate the factors associated with the formation of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The independent sample t-test and correlation analysis were used to sort out and analyze the data. The findings are as follows. (1) Different gender samples showed significant differences in the Caprini score and thrombus location. Most DVTs in females are located in the posterior tibial vein and intermuscular veins. The Caprini score of females was significantly higher than that of males. (2) Age displays a positive correlation with DVT, coronary heart disease, hypertension, and different surgical types, respectively. (3) There is a correlation between age and operation duration. (4) Hyperlipidemia and cerebrovascular disease show a positive correlation with DVT. (5) There was a significant negative correlation between the Caprini score and the quantification of D-dimer. This indicates that in this sample, the higher the patients' Caprini score is, the lower the quantitation of D-dimer will be. (6) Hyperlipidemia and cardiac insufficiency show a positive correlation with cerebrovascular disease. Patients with hyperlipidemia and cardiac insufficiency may also suffer from cerebrovascular diseases.
