Key result
Comprehensive review details the epidemiology, risk factors, and healthcare burden of DVT.
Why the study?
Deep vein thrombosis causes considerable morbidity worldwide and is of public health interest due to its preventability and sensitivity to secular changes in population risk factors.
This review summarizes the epidemiology, risk factors, and healthcare burden of deep vein thrombosis.
May inform DVT prevention amid shifting risks; leaves open need for updated prospective incidence data.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a cause of considerable morbidity worldwide. It is a common clinical disease in the daily practice of several medical disciplines including general medicine, angiology, and internal medicine, as well as of interest to public health because of its preventability and its sensitivity to secular changes in the distribution of population risk factors. In this review we present a comprehensive overview of the epidemiological features of DVT, including incidence and risk factors. Additionally, we give an overview of the burden that DVT poses on modern health care systems.
