title: Hospital admission and mortality rates for venous thromboembolism in Oxford region, UK, 1975-98.
abstract: Multiple-cause-coded mortality rates for thromboembolism in the Oxford region of the UK showed a steady decline fom 1975 to 1998. The trend for admission rates was less clear-cut, but recent changes were not specific to women of ages associated with use of oral contraceptives or hormone-replacement therapy.
