5. Conclusions
In conclusion, large hospital-related variations in the incidence of thromboembolism in pregnancy were indicated in China. This hospital-based point survey demonstrated that the varied incidence of DVT, PE, and maternal death due to VTE was significantly influenced by hospital-related characteristics and the related diagnostic competency. Additionally, efforts should be driven towards the improvement of patient education levels and VTE treatment availability to reduce the risk of VTE-related maternal mortality and mobility.
