Population

158,325 commercially insured medical patients in the US aged ≥40 years with a hospitalisation claim (Jan 2001-Dec 2005) for cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF), severe infectious disease (SID), or lung disease.

Outcome

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) rate, type (deep venous thrombosis [DVT] or pulmonary embolism [PE]), and time to VTEhard clinical

Commercially insured medical patients, particularly those with cancer or prior VTE, are at high risk for post-discharge venous thromboembolism despite low rates of prescribed prophylaxis.
