Implication

Systematic review reveals a substantial global disease burden from venous thromboembolism across diverse economies, indicating an urgent need for targeted hospital prevention policies.

Key Points

To assess the global burden of disease and incidence rates attributable to venous thromboembolism across low-, middle-, and high-income countries.
Systematic review of international literature evaluating the incidence and disease burden of venous thromboembolism across diverse socioeconomic healthcare settings.
Annual venous thromboembolism incidence ranges from 0.75 to 2.69 per 1,000 individuals in the general population, increasing to 2 to 7 per 1,000 among individuals aged 70 years and older.
Hospital-associated venous thromboembolism is the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost in low- and middle-income countries and the second leading cause in high-income countries, exceeding nosocomial pneumonia and catheter-related bloodstream infections.
