Abstract
It is generally held that the clinical diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis constitutes a gross underestimate of the true incidence of the disease. Most cases of venous thrombosis occur after operation, during pregnancy and the puerperium, during prolonged immobilisation, in obese patients with varicose veins or in patients with solid tumours.
