Trends In Percutaneous Device Use For The Treatment Of Venous Thromboembolism Over Time In The PINC AI Healthcare Database And The National Inpatient Sample

The number of different methodologies of reperfusion therapy to treat venous thromboembolism (VTE) has increased substantially. Nevertheless, investigation of data representativeness and device-level usage in administrative databases has been limited. Using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) and the PINC AI Healthcare Database (PHD), all hospital encounters with a diagnosis code of VTE were identified between 1/1/2016 and 12/31/2020. Patient demographics and trends in treatment modalities were evaluated over time.
