Eloïse Laouenan: Rising Risk of Pregnancy Related Venous Thromboembolism

Eloïse Laouenan, PhD student in Life and Health Sciences at INSERM, midwife at CHU Brest, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, adding:

“New publication of our team about

Epidemiology of Pregnancy Related Venous Thromboembolism!!!

  • 20,238 women included at delivery
  • 6 maternity units
  • 3-month postpartum follow-up
  • Postpartum VTE incidence was 4.9 per 1,000 person-years, nearly twice higher than expected
  • High VTE incidence after first week PP
  • Postpartum thromboprophylaxis underprescribed
  • High VTE incidence in intermediate-risk women regardless of thromboprophylaxis

MUM-VTE trial – NCT06845423 is recruiting in France to demonstrate the superiority of LMWH during 6 weeks VS no thromboprophylaxis in intermediate-risk women.

Special thanks to all pregnant women who advance research for women’s health.

Thanks to all the staff.”
