CARDIONCOLOGY.ORG ABSTRACT:
This article examines the impact of acute symptomatic venous thromboembolism (VTE) on quality of life (QoL) of patients with malignancies in cancer patients with or without acute symptomatic VTE.
The study used EORTC QLQ-C30, EQ-5D-3L, PEmb-QoL, and VEINES-QOL/Sym questionnaires to analyze differences in global health status for 425 patients.
Results indicate that acute symptomatic VTE adversely affects the QoL of patients with malignancies.
