Correlation between the climatic factors and the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis.
There are numerous researches dealing with the correlation between the seasons and climatic factors and the pathogenesis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The presented researches show an undoubted correlation between the climatic factors and the pathogenesis of DVT. In the majority of researches, retrospection is noted as a disadvantage. Further prospective researches could aim on testing the correlation between both climatic and thrombotics factors and the pathogenesis of DVT. This may additionally clarify the pathophysiological mechanism of the DVT incidence and contribute to the prevention and treatment of risk groups of patients in certain periods of the year.
