To the editor On October 15, 2022, the IX Scien tific Conference entitled “Venous thromboem bolism:an underestimated problem” took place iWarsaw in a hybrid form. It attracted a to tal of 366 participants—320 onlineand 46 on site. The conference has been organized annu ally since 2014, whenthe World Thrombosis Day was established by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ISTH).It is cele brated on October 13, the birthdayanniversary of RudolfVirchow, who pioneered the research into the pathogenesis of thrombosis and contributed to our better understanding of this condition.
Our aim is to increase the awareness of throm bosis, highlighting its significance, risks, as well as signs and symptoms. Thrombosis is still mis understood and often overlooked by clinicians. Worldwide, 1 in 4 people die from conditions caused by thrombosis. Early identification of an at risk patient facilitates diagnosis and treat ment, which can often lead to recovery.Pulmo nary embolism, when left untreated, is associat ed with a mortality rate of up to 30%, but when treated early, the mortality rate drops to 8%. It is necessary to highlight the burden of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which has serious health consequences if undiagnosed for a long time and insufficiently treated. VTE may also occur at unusual and often critical locations, for example, in the intracerebral, retinal, or intra abdominal venous circulation, and can result from a variety of inherited or acquired prothrom botic states. Thrombosis is still the main cause of death in compound mediated disorders, for ex ample, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Thrombosis constitutes a dilemma in pregnant women. To assess the risk of thrombosis during pregnancy and to introduce preventive measures, and sometimes treatment, a gynecologist should have adequate knowledge and experience. In addi tion, an active cooperation with a hematologist is needed. The outbreak of the COVID 19 pandem ic has brought about new challenges in the diag nosis of thrombotic complications and antithrom botic treatmentof this disease. Finally, the choice of an anticoagulant regimen is important and may be difficult, especially in older patients with comor bidities, such as cancer or renal failure.
During the IX Scientific Conference, numer ous important topics related to thrombosis were presented and discussed by specialists in hema tology, cardiology, and gynecology. All lectures are available on the educational platformrun by the Group for Hemostasis of the Polish So ciety of Hematology and Transfusion Medicine (hemostasis.edu.pl).
Information on the previous Scientific Confer‑ ences held by the Group for Hemostasis of the Pol‑ ish Society of Hematology and Transfusion Med‑ icine can also be found in Polish Archives of Inter- nal Medicine,1, 2 which actively supports this valu‑ able initiative to reduce thrombosis‑related mor‑bidity and mortality.
