Abstract

Mortality and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are major risks for patients with hematological malignancies. However, they are commonly underrepresented in major clinical trials of VTE. Treatment decisions are further complicated by the unique characteristics they frequently exhibit, such as thrombocytopenia. In addition to discussing treatment challenges, knowledge gaps, and future directions, our goal in this narrative review is to provide an overview of the epidemiology and risk factors of mortality in patients with hematological malignancies and VTE.
