Brief Summary

In France, venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease is usually managed by vascular medicine physicians (VMP). The national OPTIMEV study, conducted more than 12 years ago among VMP practicing in hospital and in the community described the management of VTE in routine clinical practice. Since then a large number of practice changing studies have been published. This includes trials that have validated the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC), the new standard of care of VTE, as per new national and international guidelines. Management of VTE in 2019 appears to be significantly different from the one that prevailed more than 10 years ago when the last national survey was conducted. It is therefore important to have an update on the routine clinical practice management of VTE by VMP. In this perspective the investigators aim to conduct a national survey among VMP practicing in France

Conditions

Survey; Venous Thromboembolism; Deep Vein Thrombosis; Pulmonary Embolism; Anticoagulant

Keywords

Survey; Venous Thromboembolism; Deep Vein Thrombosis; Pulmonary Embolism; Anticoagulant; Clinical Practice; Therapeutic management

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Inter-practician variability of clinical care of venous thromboembolic in routine clinical practice

  The variation in venous thromboembolic management in routine clinical practice is assessed by analysing the management of the 5 consecutive acute venous thromboembolic patients reported by each participating physician

  up to 3 months after inclusion

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Inter-practician variability of clinical care of venous thromboembolic according to patient age

  up to 6 months after inclusion

• Inter-practician variability of clinical care of venous thromboembolic according to patient body weight

  up to 6 months after inclusion

• Inter-practician variability of clinical care of venous thromboembolic according to patient bleeding risk

  up to 6 months after inclusion

Study Arms (2)

VMP members of the SFMV

VMP (vascular medicine physicians) members of the SFMV (French Society of Vascular Medicine )

VMP registered as willing to do medical research

VMP (vascular medicine physicians) registered as willing to do medical research

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Vascular medicine physicians (VMP) practicing in the hospital and in the community settings. Participating VMP will prospectively collect data on the management of incident venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease cases. After that, vascular medicine physicians will answer a phone questionnaire on their general VTE management

You may qualify if:

• vascular medicine physicians who are active members of the SFMV (French Society of Vascular Medicine)
• vascular medicine physicians registered as willing to do medical research

You may not qualify if:

• vascular medicine physicians who refuse to provide consent
• vascular medicine physicians who are retired
• non-practicing vascular medicine physicians
