“…Several studies have shown that the risk increases with the total number of risk factors present (such as higher age, higher body mass index (BMI), family history, presence of other comorbidities, etc.) 292,293 . A recent prediction score that was developed to estimate an individual’s risk after knee arthroscopy, the Leiden-thrombosis risk prediction for patients after knee arthroscopy (L-TRiP[ascopy]) score showed good performance, which also persisted after external validation 294 .…”

“…Other studies describe the risk of VTE of five-to ten-fold greater in pregnant women [21][22][23]. This thrombosis risk increases upon the venous stasis in the lower extremities due to a hormone-induced increase in venous capacitance and the compression of the inferior vein cava by the enlarged uterus [24].…”

Objective: Nowadays it is easier for pregnant women to travel abroad. The purpose of this review is to insure that healthcare providers advise pregnant women of the risks to travel by airplane. Materials and Methods: The authors provide an overview of the risks of thrombosis in pregnancy to travel by airplane and the risks of miscarriage and preterm labor. This study is based on electronic literature using the best available evidence from PubMed, Medline, Google Scholar, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG), and the British Thoracic Society (BTS). Results: In the lack of evidence-based information, physicians and pregnant women should only rely on guidelines and experts' opinions. Conclusions: In the absence of a reasonable expectation for obstetric or medical complications, occasional air travel is safe in pregnancy. The specific airline recommendations should be always kept in mind.

There are limited and conflicting data on sex and urban‐rural disparities in outcomes of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) in the reproductive age group. Our object was to assess sex disparities in the reproductive age group cohort. All adult non‐elective admissions in the reproductive age group (18−49 years) with a primary diagnosis of PE and with no missing sex/age data were identified using the National Inpatient Sample. Females and males were stratified into rural and urban location based on hospital information. Outcomes of interest included in‐hospital mortality, complication rates, variations in management, total hospitalization costs, and length of stay. During 01/01/2016 to 12/31/2020, 180,898 PE admissions aged 18−49 years were identified (rural—12,319 [6.8%]). Females comprised 54.8% and 55.1% of the rural and urban cohorts, respectively. Overall, compared to males, females in urban and rural regions had largely comparable rates of definitive PE interventions, except lower rates of catheter directed therapy (4.7 vs. 3.6%, p < 0.001) in females admitted to urban hospitals. Despite younger age, higher comorbidity, and lower utilization of PE interventions, females in both regions had similar unadjusted in‐hospital mortality (rural 1.1% vs. 1.0%; p = 0.93 and urban 1.8% vs. 1.7%; p = 0.78) and hospitalization costs compared to males. In conclusion, females of reproductive age group had comparable in‐hospital outcomes to males in both urban and rural areas. Females in urban areas had lower utilization of advanced PE interventions, potentially indicating selective management strategies in different settings.
