DYK that #VTE is the leading cause of preventable #hospital death? In fact, up to 60% of all VTE cases occur during or within 90 days of hospitalization. For #WTDay22 we encourage all health systems to implement VTE risk assessment. #EyesOpenToThrombosis
Being in the hospital is THE primary risk factor for developing venous thromboembolism (#VTE). To help prevent hospital-associated thrombosis, every hospital should establish and enforce a VTE protocol and provide risk assessments to every patient. #WTDay22
