Abstract
Pregnancy-related VTE in women with SCD appears to be 1.5 to 5 times greater than pregnancy-related VTE in the general population. The higher prevalence of VTE among pregnant women with pneumonia, VOC, and/or ACS, and their potential clinical overlap, suggests that VTE may be missed in such women. We conclude that VTE in pregnant women with SCD may be more common than previously reported, and such women might be candidates for thromboprophylaxis.
