A recent study conducted at the University Hospital of Lyon in France examined the knowledge of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) about their disease and treatment. The study found that a significant number of patients had poor knowledge about their treatment, particularly regarding the risk of bleeding, contraindications of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and precautions related to physical activity.
