• Estimated lifetime risk of venous thromboembolism in men and women in a Danish nationwide cohort: impact of competing risk of death 

      Arnesen, Carl Arne Løchen; Veres, Katalin; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft; Brækkan, Sigrid K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-08)
      Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk varies by age and sex. Some studies have reported overall higher risk in men, especially when VTEs triggered by female reproductive factors are excluded. However, higher mortality rates in men may have led to overestimation of lifetime VTE risk in men compared with women. Therefore, we estimated the lifetime risk of VTE in men and women in a Danish, ...
    • The Interaction Between Venous Thromboembolism and Socioeconomic Status on the Risk of Disability Pension 

      Jørgensen, Helle; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Laugesen, Kristina; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-14)
      Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with increased risk of disability pension. How socioeconomic status (SES) impacts the risk of disability pension after a VTE is unknown. The aim of this nationwide population based cohort study to investigate the interaction between SES and incident VTE on the risk of subsequent disability pension.<p> <p>Methods: Using Danish national medical ...

    • Redefining clinical venous thromboembolism phenotypes: a novel approach using latent class analysis 

      de Winter, Maria A.; Uijl, Alicia; Büller, Harry R.; Carrier, Marc; Cohen, Alexander T.; Hansen, John Bjarne; Kaasjager, Karin H.A.H.; Kakkar, Ajay K.; Middeldorp, Saskia; Raskob, Gary E.; Sørensen, Henrik Toft; Wells, Philip S.; Nijkeuter, Mathilde; Dorresteijn, Jannick A.N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Background - Patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) are commonly classified by the presence or absence of provoking factors at the time of VTE to guide treatment decisions. This approach may not capture the heterogeneity of the disease and its prognosis.<p> <p>Objectives - To evaluate clinically important novel phenotypic clusters among patients with VTE without cancer and to explore their ...
    • Risk of a permanent work-related disability pension after incident venous thromboembolism in Denmark: A population-based cohort study 

      Jørgensen, Helle; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Laugesen, Kristina; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-31)
      Background - Long-term complications of venous thromboembolism (VTE) hamper physical function and impair quality of life; still, it remains unclear whether VTE is associated with risk of permanent work-related disability. We aimed to assess the association between VTE and the risk of receiving a permanent work-related disability pension and to assess whether this association was explained by ...
    • Socioeconomic status and risk of incident venous thromboembolism 

      Jørgensen, Helle; Horváth-Puhó, Erzsébet; Laugesen, Kristina; Brækkan, Sigrid; Hansen, John-Bjarne; Sørensen, Henrik Toft (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-09)
      Background: Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and socioeconomic status (SES) affects human health and health behavior, few studies have examined the association between SES and VTE. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between SES, assessed individually and in a composite score by levels of education, income, and employment status, and ...
