We identified 31,356 patients with newly diagnosed asthma in 2002-2008 and 125,157 individuals without asthma randomly selected from the general population, frequency matched by age, sex and index ...

This nationwide population cohort study suggests that the risk of developing pulmonary thromboembolism significantly is increased in asthmatic patients compared to those of the general population, with a multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio of 3.24 (95% CI 1.74–6.01). The auth...

متن کاملRisk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in asthma.
Increasing evidence suggests that patients with asthma have activated coagulation within the airways. Whether this leads to an increase in venous thromboembolic events is unknown. We therefore assessed the incidence of venous thromboembolic events in patients with mild-to-moderate and severe asthma as compared with an age- and sex-matched reference population. 648 patients with asthma (283 with...
