Abstract
Despite advances in the medical management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) during the last decade, relatively few contemporary data describe and compare outcomes in patients with these common conditions from a more generalizable community-based perspective. The objectives of the Worcester Venous Thromboembolism Study are to provide contemporary population-based data about the clinical epidemiologic features of DVT and PE, their management, and associated outcomes.1 The primary objective of this report is to provide data on venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence, major bleeding, and mortality rates in patients with validated DVT and PE in the real-world setting.
