Description

Hypothesis:

Through data analysis of a large cohort of trauma patients, a clinically applicable protocol can be developed based on various predisposing factors for VTE in asymptomatic patients. By isolating the factors that make these patients high risk for VTE, we can effectively lower the incidence of PE in hospitalized trauma patients.
