TL;DR: The incidence of pulmonary embolism has decreased over time, the incidence of deep vein thrombosis remains unchanged for men and is increasing for older women, and the need for more accurate identification of patients at risk for venous thromboembolism is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a population-based case-control study.
John A. Heit,Marc D. Silverstein,Marc D. Silverstein,David N. Mohr,Tanya M. Petterson,W. Michael O'Fallon,L. Joseph Melton +6 more
TL;DR: Hospital or nursing home confinement, surgery, trauma, malignant neoplasm, chemotherapy, neurologic disease with paresis, central venous catheter or pacemaker, varicose veins, and superficial vein thrombosis are independent and important risk factors for VTE.
Journal ArticleDOI

John A. Heit,David N. Mohr,Marc D. Silverstein,Marc D. Silverstein,Tanya M. Petterson,W. Michael O'Fallon,L. Joseph Melton +6 more
TL;DR: Survival after VTE, and especially after PE+/-DVT, is much worse than reported, and significantly less than expected survival, implying that treatment for the 2 disorders should be different.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared with controls: a population-based study.
TL;DR: In this study, patients with RA were at increased risk of developing infections compared with non-RA subjects, due to immunomodulatory effects of RA, or to agents with immunosuppressive effects used in its treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
