Rate of Venous Thrombosis in Acutely Ill Patients Hospitalized in Internal Medicine Wards

NCT03157843 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 1000

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

After reports from observational studies suggesting an association between acutely ill medical patients and venous thromboembolism (VTE), interventional trials with anticoagulants drugs have demonstrated a significant reduction of VTE during and immediately after hospitalisation. Although several guidelines suggest the clinical relevance of reducing this outcome, there is a low tendency to use anticoagulants in patients hospitalised for acute medical illness. This observational multicentre study wants to evaluate the incidence of venous thrombo-embolism in acutely ill patients hospitalized in internal medicine wards.
