ABSTRACT

Introduction: Venous thromboembolic is a multifactorial disease characterized by obstruction of venous secondary light. The prevalence of patients with risk is 52% in hospitalized patients. Risk factors for thrombotic disease include obesity, congestive heart failure, where there is venous stasis as a pro-coagulant and sepsis, among others. Objective: To determine the prevalence of risk factors for thrombotic disease in patients admitted to the observation room of the Emergency Department of the CMN «La Raza». Methods: During three months survey is applied to identify risk factors for thrombotic disease and determine its stratification. In patients older than 16 years with medical or surgical pathology. Results: 56% female and 44% male. Average age of 60 years (SD ± 19.2). The prevalence of risk factors for VTE is 85% with a 95% (83 ± 89.14). 32% for VTE thromboprophylaxis. The most common risk factor is age 60 to 74 years (18.2%). Conclusions: The prevalence of risk factors in our population is very high and the use of prophylaxis is not proportional to its presentation. The level of high risk to develop venous thrombotic disease is prevalent in our population.
