Thromboembolic complications of polycythemia: Polycythemia vera versus smokers' polycythemia [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1993
This report compares patients with the hypercoagulable state of polycythemia vera to patients with secondary polycythemia caused by tobacco use to determine whether the incidence of thromboembolic events is equivalent.The medical records of 146 patients with the diagnosis of polycythemia between 1977 to 1990 were reviewed.
