Objective:
This study aims to analyze the probability of an increase in mortality due to venous thrombosis of the lower limbs (VTLL), and it´s relation to days of hospital stay.
Materials And Methods:
We included all hospital records of patients with thrombosis in the lower limbs as main diagnosis from open access national datasets, we obtained epidemiological description of diagnosis, length of stay and mortality.
Results:
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) constituted 69% (1223/1785) of cases. From all the patients registered, 47 (2.63%) died. The highest mortality rate was observed in older adults, and patients with a longer hospital stay.
Conclusions:
Patients diagnosed with DVT, who endure a longer hospital stay, face a major risk of death.
