| Summary | Venous thromboembolism (VTE), clinically presenting as deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most frequent cardiovascular disease and is associated with substantial short- and long-term morbidity and mortality and high costs of care.

This project aims to develop, test and implement a structured follow-up care model for patients with PE (The Attend-PE model). This project is a pre-post intervention study and will estimate the effectiveness of implementing the structured follow-up care model on a nati |
