Venous thromboembolism (VTE), manifests as either deep vein thrombosis (about 80%) or pulmonary embolism (about 20%) in pregnancy and is a major cause of mortality and severe maternal morbidity. The risk for VTE increases above that of non-pregnant women during the first trimester, with the highest risk being in the first week postpartum. Almost all cases are considered potentially preventable with identification of an individual woman s risk profile, typically consider low , medium , or high risk . Various professional organizations have promoted different risk stratification rubrics and guidelines for prophylaxis of or treatment of VTE during and after pregnancy. The CMQCC created a toolkit to help providers with risk assessment and suggested prophylaxis, representing a consensus summary of ACOG and ACCP guidelines.
