Summary

In Tunisia, the available data are limited regarding the incidence of venous thrombosis of the lower limbs (TVMI) post-hospitalization, whether symptomatic or subclinical. The thromboprophylactic strategy will certainly depend on the incidence of this complication and its severity. In this study, we performed a systematic screening for TVMI in a well-characterized cohort of patients discharged after hospitalization \>48h for an acute medical condition.

Detailed description

This is a prospective follow-up of patients after hospitalization for more than 48 hours 6 weeks after discharge. The study must be approved by the ethics committee and all patients will have given their written informed consent.

Conditions
