Thromboprophylaxis to prevent hospital-acquired thrombosis: An important opportunity for primary care

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

It is clear that hospital admission causes many preventable deaths from venous thromboembolism (VTE) yet the general public and, we would suggest, primary care health workers, still think of air travel as the main risk factor. Is there a role for primary care in helping to reduce the numbers of patients with hospital-acquired VTE?
