title: [Epidemiology and risk factors of venous thromboembolism].
abstract: Venous thromboembolism (deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)) is a serious and quite frequent disease. In this review, we summarize the present state of knowledge regarding clinical epidemiology and risk factors. These features should allow the general practitioner to assign each individual patient to a particular risk group and to order an personalized prophylaxis.
