5. Conclusions
In conclusion, large hospital-related variations in the incidence of
thromboembolism in pregnancy were indicated in China. This
hospital-based point survey demonstrated that the varied incidence of
DVT, PE, and maternal death due to VTE was significantly influenced by
hospital-related characteristics and the related diagnostic competency.
Additionally, efforts should be driven towards the improvement of
patient education levels and VTE treatment availability to reduce the
risk of VTE-related maternal mortality and mobility.
