dc.description.abstractVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major cause of maternal mortality worldwide. In many developed countries, all maternal deaths are investigated, and accurate statistics are available. In United Kingdom (UK) for example, VTE is the leading cause- and is increasing despite heightened awareness of risk factors, and wider use of thromboprophylaxis (1,2). The 1994-96 UK Confidential Enquiries reported an overall maternal mortality rate of 12.2 per 100, 000 deliveries, with specific mortality from VTE at 2.2 per 100, 000 deliveries, with approximately 15 deaths a year due to VTE.en_ZA
