IPSOS Survey
World Thrombosis Day conducted the first global assessment on public awareness of VTE in 2014. The survey was conducted in 9 countries with data from more than 7,200 individuals and provided the foundation for the campaign. Nota: A World Thrombosis Day 10th anniversary IPSOS Survey will be conducted in 2023. Descubrimientos significativos:
- VTE is far more common than most assume and is a major contributor to global burden of disease across high, middle and low income regions
- TEV es la principal causa de muerte prematura y discapacidad en eventos adversos relacionados con hospitales.
- La sensibilización pública sobre TEV es significativamente menor que para otras afecciones, como el cáncer de próstata, el cáncer de mama y el SIDA, cuya carga de morbilidad es mucho más baja.
- La información que se tiene de los factores de riesgos de TEV, que incluyen la hospitalización, las cirugías y el cáncer, es poca, como también lo es la conciencia de que esta afección puede prevenirse.

The World Thrombosis Day Steering Committee has published research articles contributing to the advancing the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of thrombosis.
