Incidence and time trends of pregnancy-related first-time venous thromboembolism: a 33-year Swedish birth registry study
During the study period, pregnancy-related PE increased, while DVT decreased from 1993 to 2019. Despite demographic shifts that might elevate VTE risk, the overall incidence of VTE remained stable, possibly because of the increased prescription of low-molecular-weight heparins.
