The incidence of venous thrombosis (VT) increases sharply with age: it is very rare in young
individuals (< 1 per 10 000 per year) but increases to∼ 1% per year in the elderly, which …

While the overall incidence of venous thrombosis is 1–2 per 1000 per year, it is close to 1%
per year in the very old. The case–fatality rate of thrombosis is high in the elderly, particularly …

Background. Frailty is a common risk factor for morbidity and mortality in elderly persons.
Recent evidence links frailty to activation of coagulation and inflammatory pathways. We …

While the magnitude of venous thromboembolism (VTE) increases dramatically with
advancing age, relatively little is known about the contemporary management of VTE in the …

Advanced age is associated with a dramatic increase in the rates of venous and arterial
thrombotic events. Increases in fibrinogen, factors VIII and IX, and other coagulation …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Elderly patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE)
have an increased rate of bleeding complications on therapeutic doses of anticoagulant …

Objectives: To identify independent risk factors of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
in geriatric inpatients and to define high‐risk patients likely to benefit from preventive …

Medicine is gradually adapting to the challenges presented by a rapidly aging society.
Although “aging” itself is not a disease, older people are more likely to have illnesses, and …

Background Venous thrombosis is common in the older population. Assessment of risk
factors is necessary to implement preventive measures. Objectives We studied the …

With advancing age, an increasing number of healthy individuals have laboratory signs of
heightened coagulation enzyme activity. Such biochemical hypercoagulability might be the …
