TLDR
VTE associated with hospitalization was the leading cause of disability-adjusted life-years lost in low- and middle- income countries, and second in high-income countries, responsible for more disability- adjusted life- years lost than nosocomial pneumonia, catheter-related blood stream infections, and adverse drug events.

Epidemiology of venous thromboembolism.

TL;DR: Venous thromboembolism includes deep-vein thrombosis of the leg or pelvis, and its complication, pulmonary embolism, which is associated with reduced survival, substantial health-care costs, and a high rate of recurrence.

Global Burden of Thrombosis: Epidemiologic Aspects.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Global Burden of Disease Project (GBDP) reports, recent systematic reviews, and searching the published literature for recent studies reporting measures of incidence, burden, and disability-adjusted life-years.

Extended Thromboprophylaxis with Betrixaban in Acutely Ill Medical Patients

TL;DR: Among acutely ill medical patients with an elevated d-dimer level, there was no significant difference between extended-duration betrixaban and a standard regimen of enoxaparin in the prespecified primary efficacy outcome, however, prespecification exploratory analyses provided evidence suggesting a benefit for betrixaba in the two larger cohorts.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2010 aimed to estimate annual deaths for the world and 21 regions between 1980 and 2010 for 235 causes, with uncertainty intervals (UIs), separately by age and sex, using the Cause of Death Ensemble model.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 291 diseases and injuries in 21 regions, 1990-2010: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010 (vol 380, pg 2197, 2012)

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive update of disease burden worldwide incorporating a systematic reassessment of disease and injury-specific epidemiology has been done since the 1990 study, and the authors aimed to calculate disease burden globally and for 21 regions for 1990, 2005, and 2010 with methods to enable meaningful comparisons over time.

TL;DR: The results for 1990 and 2010 supersede all previously published Global Burden of Disease results and highlight the importance of understanding local burden of disease and setting goals and targets for the post-2015 agenda taking such patterns into account.
