This is the first cohort specifically designed to assess both VTE and CVD risks in patients with UC. More than one third of patients with UC had no CVRF and around three quarters had ≤ 1 CVRF. In addition, more than nine out of ten patients had no VTE strong risk factor and ≤ 1 moderate risk factor. Physicians should be aware of these factors in their patients.
