Why is it important?
To improve the venous thromboembolism, we have to better assessed patient at high risk for venous thromboembolism. Therefore we search for new methods of assessment. We found that publishing our protocol should help reproductibility.
Perspectives
This study is inovative because we use accelerometry to help identify patients at high risk for venous thromboembolism.
