Among hospitalized patients, the mortality rate is as high as 5 to 10% in those with pulmonary embolism(1) and venous throm- boembolism associated death rate is the most important avoidable cause among hospitalized patients(1-4). Main Objective: To determine the percentage of accurate management of prophy- lactic anticoagulation therapy among patients admitted at San Juan de Dios Hospital, between April 15th 2012 and June 1st 2012.

To identify the most common risk factors for thromboembolic disease. Compare the use of thromboprophylaxis in surgical and medical patients.
