Abstract
Hospitalized patients with digestive system diseases are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to a variety of factors such as advanced age, prolonged bed rest, medication and so on. VTE can affect the quality of life of patients, the number of days of hospitalization, and the cost of treatment and even threaten their life. This article gives a brief overview of the pathogenesis, risk factors, assessment tools, and preventive methods for VTE to promote better prevention of this disease.
