Abstract

Uncomplicated deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can be treated in the outpatient setting with oral anticoagulants. However, emergency department (ED) visits for uncomplicated DVT are often managed through hospitalization initially rather than ED discharge with appropriate anticoagulation and outpatient follow-up. Providers have varying degrees of comfort with outpatient DVT treatment. This study aims to examine characteristics of patients treated as outpatients without an ED visit to better understand differentiators between patients sent to the ED and those managed by outpatient providers.
