The study included women admitted to hospital for one or more days for reasons other than delivery or venous thromboembolism. [5] Pregnancy after the age of 35 augments the risk of VTE, as does multigravidity of more than four pregnancies. [2] Pregnancy in itself causes approximately a five-fold increased risk of deep venous thrombosis. [6]
American evidence-based clinical guidelines were published in 2016 for the treatment of VTE. [42] In the UK, guidelines by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) were published in 2012, updated in 2020. [43] These guidelines do not cover rare forms of thrombosis, for which an individualized approach is often needed. [5]
She was a member of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines development group for: "reducing the risk of venous thromboembolism (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) in patients admitted to hospital" [21] published in 2010 and also the "Acute management of venous thromboembolism" published in 2012.

Thrombophilia testing after venous thromboembolism(VTE) provoked by surgery, on the other hand, is not recommended, because the risk of recurrence is low. Some experts argue that unprovoked VTE requires indefinite (lifelong) anticoagulation and therefore performing thrombophilia testing will not affect management. Nearly all recommendations in ...
During pregnancy and after childbirth, acute VTE occurs in about 1.2 of 1000 deliveries. Despite it being relatively rare, it is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality . [ 160 ] After surgery with preventive treatment, VTE develops in about 10 of 1000 people after total or partial knee replacement, and in about 5 of 1000 after ...
Deep vein thrombosis, a form of venous thromboembolism, has an incidence of 0.5 to 7 per 1,000 pregnancies, and is the second most common cause of maternal death in developed countries after bleeding. [30] Caused by: Pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability as a physiological response in preparation for the potential bleeding during childbirth. [30]
For comparison, the absolute risk of VTE is generally estimated as 1 to 5 per 10,000 woman–years for non-use, 5 to 20 per 10,000 woman–years for pregnancy, and 40 to 65 per 10,000 woman–years for the postpartum period. [47] Modern COCs are associated with about a 2- to 4-fold higher risk of VTE than non-use. [47]
