Description
Richard Daly and co-authors compile in 2026 the first national picture of venous thromboembolism rates in Ireland across eight years. These blood clots, in legs or lungs, burden patients and health systems worldwide, yet Ireland lacked solid national counts. Hospital discharge records from 2015 to 2022 supplied the cases, sorted into clots that caused the admission, clots arising during it, and hospital acquired events.
More than fifty one thousand adult cases were recorded, giving a mean yearly incidence near one hundred seventy two per hundred thousand people. Primary clots averaged about ninety eight per hundred thousand. Hospital acquired clots ran near ten per thousand discharges. Pregnancy related clots came to about two and a half per thousand births. The authors offer the figures as a baseline for prevention policy and for judging the pandemic years.
