Risk of venous thromboembolism in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden.
(2012) In European Journal of Internal Medicine 23(1). p.40-47- Abstract
- There are ethnic differences in the incidence of venous thromboembolism. This is the first nationwide study to examine whether there is an association between country of birth in first-generation immigrants and first hospitalisation for venous thrombosis (VT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), and to study whether a similar association exists in second-generation immigrants.
