• 1 other identifier: VTERiskMA8011
• Study Type: observational
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

A systematic review and meta analysis will be performed of risk assessment models for Venous thromboembolism ("VTE" including pulmonary embolism "PE" and deep venous thrombosis "DVT")in hospitalized medical patients. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether the incidence of VTE is lower in patients that are evaluated with a risk assessment model and treated with thromboprophylaxis for their assigned level of risk.
