    Author: Stein PD, Beemath A, Olson RE.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2005 Jun 15; 95(12):1525-6. PubMed ID: 15950590.
    Abstract:
    Trends in the incidences of pulmonary embolism (PE), deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) (PE or DVT, or both) in hospitalized adults (aged > or =20 years) were evaluated using data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. From 1979 to 1999, the incidence of DVT in hospitalized patients increased from 0.8% of admissions to 1.3% of admissions. The incidence of PE was 0.4% of admissions and did not change over the 21-year period. Trends and incidences were similar or the same among men and women and whites and blacks.
