“…Factors relevant in causation include ABO blood group (Jick et al, 1969), body weight (Vessey and Doll, 1969), use of oral contraceptives containing oestrogen (McQueen, 1971), and possibly cigarette smoking (Frederiksen and Ravenholt, 1970;Sartwell et al, 1969). Unusual physical effort has been implicated (Feinleib, 1972), but we have found no reference in the literature to occupational factors before the study of Sartwell et al (1969) which found a high proportion of cases of idiopathic venous thromboembolism in a retrospective study to be nurses.…”

SummaryThe incidence of idiopathic deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in a group of nurses (9-4 per 1,000 per year and 7-5 per 1,000 per year respectively) was much higher than the reported incidence in women of childbearing age in the general population (0 65 per 1,000 per year and 011 per 1,000 per year respectively). We suggest that these results show that nurses face an increased risk of idiopathic thromboembolism as a result of their occupation.
