  Background: In patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE), assessment of the risk of recurrent VTE and major bleeding may help to guide intensity and duration of anticoagulant therapy. Methods: We used the Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad Tromboemb?lica (RIETE) to identify predictors of poor adherence to guidelines in patients with- and without cancer, and to assess the rate and severity of VTE recurrences and major bleeding during the course of anticoagulation in Italian patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Results: A total of 3541 patients with objectively diagnosed VTE were enrolled in Italy, of whom 1832 (52%) initially presented DVT. Of these, 409 (22%) patients had already known cancer at baseline. In all, 32% of patients with cancer and 74% of those without cancer received long-term therapy with vitamin K antagonists, 55% and 19% respectively received long-term therapy.. Read More»
