Overview
Socioeconomic Impact of PTS
PTS lowers patients’ quality of life after DVT, specifically with regards to physical and psychological symptoms and limitations in daily activities.[1][2][3] Secondly, the treatment of PTS adds significantly to the cost of treating DVT. The annual health care cost of PTS in the United States has been estimated at $200 million, with costs over $3800 per patient in the first year alone, and increasing with disease severity.[4][5] PTS also causes lost work productivity: patients with severe PTS and venous ulcers lose up to 2 million work days per year.[6]
