Résumé
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most frequent events associated with cancer, requiring hospitalization and generating additional healthcare costs. To date, no studies analyzing the additional costs resulting from VTE associated with cancer in France have been published. The objective of this study was to provide an estimation of the additional cost induced by VTE with cancer by analyzing hospital stays reported in the 2013 PMSI French Hospital Database ("Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information", a national hospital administrative database) for four cancer types (breast, lung, hepatocellular carcinoma, and colon).
