¿Qué le depara al paciente tras el diagnóstico de trombosis venosa profunda? Estudio de factores pronósticos de la mortalidad, síndrome postrombótico y calidad de vida

One out of every three patients with DVT will die within three years. Of the survivors, one out of every two will have PTS, which will deteriorate his or her QL. Going to the Emergency Department in < 9 days can be an indirect indicator of the severity of the condition. D-dimer > 3.870 μg/L in the diagnosis of DVT is predictive of PTS in 94% of cases.
