The findings, which are based on an examination of electronic medical records of 3.8 million intensive care and emergency patients, indicate that the current procedure for assessing kidney function may provide misleading results during the initial evaluation of a patient.
On behalf of the VTE Impact Assessment Group, established investigators reported that nearly 1 million cases of venous thromboembolism (VTE) occur each year in the United States.
