Figure 2. Proportions of patients with VTE-related and VTE (primary diagnosis [Dx]) readmissions during the 6-month follow-up stratified by type of acute medical illness. Each full-length horizontal bar indicates the proportion of patients with VTE-related hospital readmissions; the green part of each bar depicts the proportion of readmissions that were associated with a primary Dx for VTE.
