Is the risk of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period lower in Chinese women compared to Caucasians?
Chinese women have a substantially lower risk of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism compared to Caucasians, with events mostly confined to early pregnancy.
Chinese women had a substantially lower risk of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period compared to that of Caucasians. The occurrence of pregnancy-related venous thromboembolism was largely confined to the early pregnancy period, probably related to the adoption of thromboprophylaxis, a lower rate of Cesarean section, and early mobilization.
