What this trial studies
This observational study aims to evaluate the demographic data, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in public university hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil. Over a five-year period, the study will collect prospective records of DVT cases, focusing on various risk factors, clinical presentations, and treatment outcomes. The research seeks to fill the gap in epidemiological data regarding DVT in South America, which is currently limited. By utilizing a digital platform, the study will systematically analyze the collected data to improve understanding and management of DVT.

Not a fit: Patients who do not have venous thrombosis or those with conditions that are not related to DVT may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of DVT in Brazil, leading to improved prevention and treatment strategies for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited epidemiological data on DVT in South America, similar studies in other regions have successfully identified risk factors and improved treatment protocols.
