US HR1112

H. Res. 1112 expresses House support for designating March as "Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism Awareness Month"

DVT and pulmonary embolisms affect up to 900,000 Americans annually and kill an estimated 60,000 to 100,000 people each year, with 1 in 4 PE patients dying without warning

These conditions contribute up to $10 billion in incremental medical costs annually in the United States

Risk factors include immobility, surgery, older age, family history of clotting, pregnancy (with elevated risk for up to 3 months postpartum), and cancer
