There is substantial heterogeneity in event rates for VTE and major bleeding among acute medically ill patients.
History of VTE and cancer-related hospitalization identify acute medically ill patients at high risk for VTE who may warrant continued prophylaxis.

May support targeted extended prophylaxis in high-risk acute medical patients; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.
There is substantial heterogeneity in the event rates for VTE and major bleeding in acute medically ill patients. History of VTE and cancer related hospitalization represent profiles with a high risk of VTE, where continued VTE prophylaxis may be warranted.
