VTE is a significant public health issue affecting thousands of patients globally and is accountable for a high number of hospitalizations annually. Methods: A total of 1661 Saudis were surveyed in a cross-sectional observational study. A questionnaire that has already been designed was used to gather information about sociodemographic characters, knowledge about DVT, risk factors, symptoms, complications, relation to patient’s activity, the seriousness of DVT leading to death, and symptoms of PE.
