Pulmonary embolism: Epidemiology and registries

Real-life data is important in understanding the needs of patients in routine clinical practice, particularly owing to the fact that almost a quarter of patients with venous thromoboembolism (VTE) have at least one exclusion criterion preventing their recruitment into randomized clinical trials. The Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad Trombo Embólica (RIETE) registry is an ongoing, international, multicentre, prospective registry of consecutive patients presenting with acute VTE. In this chapter, we summarized some of the most relevant data concerning the epidemiology of VTE in the RIETE registry.publisher: Elsevier articletitle: Pulmonary embolism: Epidemiology and registries journaltitle: La Presse Médicale articlelink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.006 associatedlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.005 associatedlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.010 associatedlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.009 associatedlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.007 associatedlink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.lpm.2015.10.008 content_type: article copyright: Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS.
