| dc.description.abstract | Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. DVT is common in hospitalized patients with acute medical illness. Routine use of thrombo prophylaxis has been shown to reduce prevalence of DVT in hospitalized patients with acute medical illness. Thrombo prophylaxis is not routinely given to hospitalized medical patients in most hospitals in Zambia. | en |
