Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with clinical suspicion of acute PE, acute DVT, or incidentally diagnosed VTE.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not have clinical suspicion of VTE or are under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

The VTEval Project is a prospective observational study aimed at evaluating and improving the diagnostics and management strategies for venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It involves three long-term cohorts of patients with suspected or incident VTE, focusing on systematic assessments of disease status and risk profiles. The study seeks to address the significant public health challenges posed by VTE, particularly in older populations, by collecting comprehensive data on symptoms, clinical factors, and psychosocial aspects.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved diagnostic and management strategies for patients with venous thromboembolism, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality associated with the condition.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in improving VTE management and diagnostics, indicating that this approach has potential based on previous findings.
