    A total of 393 inpatients were diagnosed with hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) from January 2023 to December 2024.

  • 2

    The most common subtype of HA-VTE was isolated hospital-acquired deep vein thrombosis (HA-DVT), accounting for 308 cases.

  • 3

    Risk factors for HA-VTE included older age, malignancy, trauma, ICU stay, and major surgery, with higher incidence in specific departments.

  • 4

    Patients with HA-VTE experienced longer hospital stays and higher mortality rates compared to those without VTE.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the need for tailored prophylaxis strategies due to the association between surgical procedures and HA-VTE incidence.
