Venous Thromboembolism in an Industrial North American City: Temporal Distribution and Association with Particulate Matter Air Pollution

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence, mainly from Europe and Asia, indicates that venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs most often in winter. Factors implicated in such seasonality are low temperature-mediated exacerbation of coagulation and high levels of particulate matter (PM) air pollution. However, in c...
