The epidemiology of venous thromboembolism

TL;DR: Venous thromboembolism is a complex disease, involving interactions between acquired or inherited predispositions to thrombosis and VTE risk factors, including increasing patient age and obesity, hospitalization for surgery or acute illness, nursing-home confinement, active cancer, trauma or fracture, immobility or leg paresis, superficial vein thromBosis, and, in women, pregnancy and puerperium.

Acute pulmonary embolism: clinical outcomes in the international cooperative pulmonary embolism registry (ICOPER)

TL;DR: Data from ICOPER provide rates and highlight adverse prognostic categories that will help in planning of future trials of high-risk PE patients and highlight significant prognostic factors associated with death.

Trends in the incidence of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a 25-year population-based study.

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.

A population-based perspective of the hospital incidence and case-fatality rates of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The Worcester DVT Study

TL;DR: Extrapolation of the data from this population-based study suggests that there are approximately 170,000 new cases of clinically recognized venous thromboembolism in patients treated in short-stay hospitals in the United States each year, and 99,000 hospitalizations for recurrent disease.

The long-term clinical course of acute deep venous thrombosis.

TL;DR: The clinical course of a first episode of symptomatic deep venous thrombosis in a large consecutive series of patients who had long-term follow-up was assessed and the potential risk factors for these three outcomes were evaluated.

Prognosis of cancers associated with venous thromboembolism.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors linked the Danish National Registry of Patients, the Danish Cancer Registry, and the Danish Mortality Files to obtain data on the survival of patients who received a diagnosis of cancer at the same time as or after an episode of venous thromboembolism.
