Background: Data on recurrence after the end of anticoagulation for a first event of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) are scarce.
Objectives: Our aim was to assess predictors of VTE recurrence during a 1-year follow-up period.
Methods: This study is an analysis of RIETE, an international, multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with VTE.
The influence of the day of diagnosis (weekends vs. weekdays) on outcome in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) has not been thoroughly studied. We used the RIETE database to compare the clinical characteristics, treatment details, and mortality rate at 7 and 30 days, of all patients diagnosed with acute VTE on weekends versus those diagnosed on weekdays.
