Association between iron deficiency anemia and risk of venous thromboembolism: a multi-institutional retrospective study
This large-scale study establishes IDA as a significant modifiable risk factor for VTE, with peak risk occurring early after diagnosis. The findings support enhanced clinical vigilance and consideration of prophylactic strategies for IDA patients, particularly during initial months following diagnosis.
