- The precise number of people affected by
DVT/PE is unknown, but estimates range from 300,000 to 600,000 (1 to 2
per 1,000, and in those over 80 years of age, as high as 1 in 100) each
year in the United States.
- Estimates suggest that 60,000-100, 000 Americans die of DVT/PE (also called venous thromboembolism).
- 10 to 30% of people will die within one month of diagnosis.
- Sudden death is the first symptom in about one-quarter (25%) of people who have a PE.
- Among people who have had a DVT, one-third
will have long-term complications (post-thrombotic syndrome) such as
swelling, pain, discoloration, and scaling in the affected limb.
- One-third (about 33%) of people with DVT/PE will have a recurrence within 10 years.
- Approximately 5 to 8 percent of the U.S.
population has one of several genetic risk factors, also known as
inherited thrombophilias in which a genetic defect can be
identified that increases the risk for thrombosis.
