Multi-Center Prospective Validation Study of VTE Risk Prediction Tool in Trauma Patients

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

Almost one-half million people suffer venous thromboembolism annually in the United States, and one-third die from this disease. Massive bleeding from injury accounts for half of early deaths after trauma. This study aims to prevent the deaths and suffering associated with venous thromboembolism and bleeding by identifying the individual person at high risk of these complications in order to take preventive measures.
