Brief Summary

More than 5 years ago the DVT FREE Registry was conceived. Its database consists of 5,451 ultrasound-confirmed DVT patients from 183 institutions. This database is rich in information of critical importance to health care providers. The information contained within the database will be revisited to provide more detailed analyses which will be used for risk factor assessment and for decision-making regarding the implementation of VTE Prophylaxis.
