      Changes in the incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) during the last two decades have not been extensively studied. Therefore, we studied time trends in the incidence rates (IRs) of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) in a cohort of 26,855 subjects, aged 25–97 years, enrolled in the Tromsø study in 1994/1995. The subject were followed-up throughout 2012, and all symptomatic, ...
    • Venous thromboembolism: incidence, recurrence and mortality 

      Arshad, Nadia (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-08-29)
      Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), collectively referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE), is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. To plan and evaluate prevention and treatment strategies for VTE, understanding into the epidemiology and current magnitude of VTE is needed. The aims of this thesis were (i) to assess time-trends in the incidence of VTE in the ...
