Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a preventable disease. Long distant travelers are prone to variable degree to develop VTE. However, the low risk of developing VTE among long-distance travelers and which travelers should receive VTE prophylaxis, and what prophylactic measures should be used led us to develop these guidelines. These clinical practice guidelines are the result of an initiative of the Ministry of Health of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia involving an expert panel led by the Saudi Association for Venous Thrombo Embolism (a subsidiary of the Saudi Thoracic Society). The McMaster University Guideline working group provided the methodological support. The expert panel identified 5 common questions related to the thromboprophylaxis in long-distance travelers. The corresponding recommendations were made following the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
静脉血栓栓塞症（VTE），包括深静脉血栓形成（DVT）和肺栓塞（PE），是一种可预防的疾病。长途旅行者在不同程度上容易发生VTE。然而，长途旅行者发生VTE的风险较低，以及哪些旅行者应接受VTE预防，应采用何种预防措施，促使我们制定了这些指南。这些临床实践指南是沙特阿拉伯王国卫生部一项倡议的成果，该倡议由沙特静脉血栓栓塞协会（沙特胸科学会的一个分支机构）领导的专家小组参与。麦克马斯特大学指南工作组提供了方法学支持。专家小组确定了与长途旅行者血栓预防相关的5个常见问题。按照推荐分级、评估、制定和评价（GRADE）方法提出了相应建议。
