Trends and Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism Among Hospitalized Medical Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

While hospital-associated venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is a known complication of hospitalization, contemporary incidence and outcomes data are scarce and methodologically contested.

Objective

To define and validate an automated electronic health record (EHR)-based algorithm for retrospective detection of HA-VTE and examine contemporary HA-VTE incidence, previously reported risk factors, and outcomes.
