A Campaign Guided by Science
World Thrombosis Day, a global campaign of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis, is led by a scientific steering committee of international medical experts that continually provide research and publications to advance the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to thrombosis.
The scientific steering committee has published numerous papers and studies, including the most comprehensive scientific review of the global burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE) ever undertaken and the inaugural global assessment of public awareness on VTE.
Hospital VTE Protocol
To prevent hospital-associated VTE and related morbidity, every hospital worldwide should establish and enforce a VTE protocol. Protocols may vary by institution and country, but should include a VTE risk assessment that is tied to proper prevention and treatment guidelines.
