Venous thrombosis risk during and after medical and surgical hospitalizations: The medical inpatient thrombosis and hemostasis (MITH) study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thirty to seventy percent of all venous thromboembolism (VTE) events are associated with hospitalization. The absolute and relative risks during and after hospitalization are poorly characterized.

Objectives

Quantify the absolute rate and relative risk of VTE during and up to 3 months after medical and surgical hospitalizations.

Patients/methods

We conducted an observational cohort study between 2010 and 2016 of patients cared for by the University of Vermont (UVM) Health Network's primary care population. Cox proportional hazard models with hospitalization modeled as a time-varying covariate were used to estimate VTE risk.

Results

Over 4.3 years of follow-up, 55 220 hospitalizations (156 per 1000 person-years) and 713 first venous thromboembolism ev
