Bridging the post-discharge management gap in venous thromboembolism: linking adherence patterns to persistent hypercoagulability

Our findings establish a direct biological link between the post-discharge "management gap" in VTE care and persistent hypercoagulability. We propose reframing VTE as a chronic high-risk condition necessitating structured long-term management, with particular emphasis on interventions targeting the 60-day transition period and smoking cessation as high-yield strategies. These insights advocate for a paradigm shift from acute treatment to sustained risk control in VTE management.
