Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the biggest causes of death in the world. DVT has various risk factors so that DVT patient presentation can be different in each age, sex, and race group. This review aimed to obtain information regarding characteristics of deep vein thrombosis patients.Method: This study used qualitative approach that is library research using books and other literatures as the main object. This study was conducted using search engine, such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Clinical Key to obtain journals related with characteristics of deep vein thrombosis patients. Result: From 17 literatures, we found that characteristics of deep thrombosis patients are different in each age, sex, and race group. The severity of DVT increased with increasing age because of other conditions usually found in older age. Men are more susceptible to have DVT than women without reproductive risk factors such as pregnancy and menopause. African has more severe DVT presentation than other races. Lowest risk is found in Asian, although there is no significant difference in mortality between races.Conclusions: Characteristics of DVT patients (incidence rate, risk factors, location, and severity) vary in each age, sex, and race group.
