Core Tip

Core tip: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an acute type of non-suppurative venous inflammation with secondary intravascular thrombosis. The preventive treatment for pregnancy-related VTE in China is in its infancy, and there is no uniform or standardized industry guide. The standardized prevention and treatment of thrombosis in women during pregnancy represent an urgent issue faced by many Chinese doctors. In this study, a total of 7759 patients were investigated in terms of the status of VTE prophylactic treatment, with an aim to provide reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of this condition.
