Epidemiology of maternal venous thromboembolism
نویسنده
چکیده
in pregnancy include weight over 80 kg, family or personal history of thrombosis, and thrombophilia. Venous thromboembolism during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of future venous thromboembolism. Almost two-thirds of women with venous thromboembolism during pregnancy develop deep-vein insufficiency in the affected leg, a rate substantially higher than would be expected after DVT outside of pregnancy. This increase may reflect the higher incidence of iliofemoral vein thrombosis during pregnancy.
