简要总结
This study will utilize a retrospective cohort design. Using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) linked with Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) datasets, all patients with a record of VTE diagnosis between 1 April, 2008 and 31 March, 2013 will be identified and followed from the occurrence of VTE (index date) to the first of 24 months after the index date, end of the study period, leaving the database, or death.

- Rates of unplanned (emergency) hospital admission, major surgery, major bleeding, and VTE recurrence(up to 24 months following VTE occurrence)
- Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics associated with the duration of AC treatment after VTE(up to 24 months following VTE occurrence)
