Postpartum venous thromboembolism readmissions in the United States

While the majority of events occurred within 20 days of discharge, risk factors other than thrombophilia and prior venous thromboembolism were generally associated with modestly increased odds of events, and only a small proportion of readmissions occurred among women with thrombophilia and prior events. Our data demonstrate both the challenging nature and urgent need for further research to determine which clinical practices and interventions may reduce risk for venous thromboembolism readmissions on a population basis.
