Hospitalization for immune-mediated disease was associated with higher VTE risk; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before guiding prophylaxis.
Does admission to hospital with immune-mediated diseases increase the risk of subsequent venous thromboembolism?
Patients hospitalized with immune-mediated diseases may have an increased risk of subsequent VTE, potentially warranting thromboprophylaxis.
Ramagopalan et al. (2011) studied this question.
