Jo Jerrome: DETECT-VTE Audit Calls for Greater Awareness of Elusive Blood Clot Symptoms
Jo Jerrome, Founder of At The Heart Consultancy, Project Manager, shared RPTH Journal’s post on LinkedIn:
“It was an honor to be part of this work.
When a shared person’s blood clot story so frequently includes ‘I was seen several times before…’
Or worse, from a loved one, grieving and trying to understand why, when a timely diagnosis would have saved their life.
Be vigilant, share, and, think thrombosis.
Looking forward to hearing more on the Detect VTE tool.”
RPTH Journal shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Jo Jerrome et al, published in RPTH Journal, adding:
“Many patients with VTE don’t follow the textbook.
The DETECT-VTE audit of UK general practice found that nearly half of VTE diagnoses were initiated in primary care, yet 62 percent of patients had multiple healthcare visits before diagnosis.
While classic symptoms such as a swollen painful calf or breathlessness remained common, presentations varied widely, including asymptomatic cases, many detected during cancer investigations.
A timely reminder that VTE should remain on the differential, even when the presentation is atypical or vital signs are normal.”
