Objectives: To gain preliminary data regarding the prevalence of proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in those with non-malignant conditions admitted to specialist palliative care units (SPCUs). Methods: Data were collected as part of a prospective longitudinal observational study in five SPCUs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (Registration: ISRCTN97567719) to estimate the prevalence of proximal femoral vein DVT in people admitted to SPCUs. The primary outcome for this exploratory substudy was the prevalence of DVT in patients with non-malignant palliative conditions. Consecutive consenting adults underwent bilateral femoral vein ultrasonography within 48 hours of admission. Data were collected on symptoms associated with venous thromboembolism. Patients were ineligible if the estimated prognosis was}, doi = {10.1136/bmjspcare-2019-002039}, eissn = {2045-4368}, issn = {2045-435X}, journal = {BMJ Supportive and Palliative Care}, pages = {bmjspcare-2019-002039}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {BMJ Publishing Group}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/3449508}, keyword = {Health and Health Inequalities, Venous thromboembolism, Non-malignant, Hospices, Palliative care, Thromboprophylaxis, DVT}, author = {White, Clare and Noble, Simon and Swan, Flavia and Watson, Max and Allgar, Victoria and Napier, Eoin and Nelson, Annmarie and Johnson, Miriam J.} }
