Albertsen IE, Goldhaber SZ, Piazza G, et al. - A Danish nationwide cohort study was designed to evaluate potential predictors correlated with not initiating anticoagulation after incident venous thromboembolism. Researchers combined Danish nationwide health registries to distinguish all individuals with incident venous thromboembolism between 2003 and 2016. A total of 38,044 individuals with incident venous thromboembolism (53.2% female and median age 66.1 years) were included. Out of these, 9,294 were noninitiators. After hospital discharge, likely one-fourth of individuals diagnosed with incident venous thromboembolism did not receive anticoagulant treatment within 30 days. The results displayed that identification of clinical predictors of noninitiation may facilitate the implementation of patient-tailored approaches to grow adherence and thereby potentially prevent venous thromboembolism morbidity, mortality, and recurrence.
