The predictive factors of recurrent deep vein thrombosis
<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> About 2-5% of people experience deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) during their lives. Death, disease recurrence, post-thrombotic syndrome, and excessive bleeding due to coagulant medications are among the most important DVT complications. Recent research fo...
