Why the study?
Postthrombotic syndrome carries significant clinical and economic burden, prompting investigation into known and novel predictors of its development.

Early Villalta/pain assessment may aid PTS risk stratification post-DVT; extends predictor evidence while leaving anticoagulant choice impact open.
What are the baseline and postbaseline predictors of postthrombotic syndrome in patients with proximal deep vein thrombosis?
Baseline Villalta score, early leg pain severity, disability-related unemployment, and initial use of warfarin rather than rivaroxaban are significant predictors of postthrombotic syndrome after proximal DVT.
