Epidemiology and Demographics
DVTs occur in about 1 per 1000 persons per year. About 1-5% will die from the complications (i.e. pulmonary embolism).
DVT is much less common in the pediatric population. About 1 in 100,000 people under the age of 18 experiences deep vein thrombosis, possibly due to
- Children heartrate being higher than adult
- Relatively active lifestyle when compared with adults
- Fewer comorbodities (e.g. malignancy).
