Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a prevalent and multifactorial disease with long-term complications that negatively affect physical functioning and quality of life. Socioeconomic status (SES) is known to affect the risk and prognosis of health and health behavioral outcomes. In this thesis, we used data collected from 1995 through 2016 from Danish national registries to investigate socioeconomic and psychosocial risk factors for and outcomes of VTE. We found that low SES increases the risk of VTE, that individuals with VTE, particularly those with low SES, are at increased risk of disability pension, and that VTE increases the risk of subsequent depression.
Our findings provide an improved understanding of the psychosocial impact of VTE, and they can form the basis for health recommendations and novel strategies to identify high-risk groups that would benefit from programs for prevention, follow-up, or treatment after a VTE.
