Medicare claims compared reasonably well to medical record adjudication for VTE. In a national cohort of older women, VTE incidence varied by race/ethnicity. Incidence was highest in African-Americans and lowest in Asians/Pacific Islanders. VTE recurrence and all-cause mortality were high, especially in women with cancer. High post-VTE mortality in cancer patients appears due to cancer rather than VTE.
