Incidence of in‐hospital and post‐discharge diagnosed hospital‐associated venous thromboembolism using linked administrative data

Abstract

HA-VTE is a continuing burden, and diagnosis after recent hospital discharge is notably high. Incidence varies across patients and facilities, highlighting the need for individual VTE risk assessment. Inclusive measures and routine monitoring of HA-VTE incidence and mortality are essential for implementing best practice and assessing effectiveness of prevention strategies.
