Short-term exposure to PM<inf>2.5</inf> and risk of venous thromboembolism: A case-crossover study
2020, Thrombosis ResearchCitation Excerpt :VTE is a potentially life-threating condition, requiring immediate medical attention: it is estimated that about 1 out of 4 VTE patients dies within 7 days from its onset [4]. Acquired risk factors for VTE include older age, surgery, trauma, hospital or nursing home confinement, cancer, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases, varicose veins, obesity, inactivity, smoking, estrogen replacement and pregnancy for women [4–7]. Like for other cardiovascular diseases, a seasonality of VTE events has been described, but results were not consistent between studies.
