Abstract
A total of 116 patients (52 in Internal Medicine Department, 35 in Pneumology Department and 29 in Oncology Department), with a mean age of 67 ± 17 years (35 females; 81 males) were included. During hospitalization, 62.9% of the patients had a high risk of thromboembolic events, 3.4% a moderate risk, 23.3% low risk, and 10.3% had no risk. After discharge, these proportions were 35.6%, 3.8%, 24% and 34.6%, respectively. A total of 49.1% of the patients had an adequate indication of venous thromboembolism prophylaxis during the hospitalization and after discharge.
