Venous thromboembolism comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a serious and potentially fatal disorder which often complicates the course of hospitalized patients, but also affects ambulatory and otherwise healthy people. The annual incidence of venous thromboembolism is 1 to 2 cases per 1000 person and the risk of the disorder rises exponentially with age, from an annual rate of less than 5 per 100,000 children to greater than 400 per 100,000 adults older than 80 years.
静脉血栓栓塞症包括深静脉血栓形成(DVT)和肺栓塞(PE)。急性静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)是一种严重且可能致命的疾病,它常常使住院患者的病程复杂化,但也会影响门诊患者及其他健康人群。静脉血栓栓塞症的年发病率为每1000人中有1至2例,并且该疾病的风险随年龄呈指数级上升,从每年每10万名儿童中少于5例增至每年每10万名80岁以上成年人中超过400例。
