ABSTRACT
Mexico needs development and diffusion of consensus and guidelines about diverse fields of the medical practice because there is a wide disparity of criteria and disinformation that allows different diagnostic and therapeutic criteria among institutions, hospitals, clinical departments or, even worse, for each clinical case. This lack of uniformity avoids getting epidemiological data, to develop coherent clinical research, to optimally planning the medical resources, and to accomplish the most important aim: to diminish the morbidity and mortality in our country. Venous thromboembolic disease is a world-wide cause of in-hospital morbidity and mortality. Although we do not know the exact data in our country we are sure that a better uniformity of criteria among medical specialties involved in its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment will make more clear the horizon of this entity and will contribute to a more rational and interdisciplinary management which will end in more saved lives, in a better quality of life of the patients, in more resources saved, and in a rise of the level of clinical management of this frequent problem. This justify enough the effort directed by the Colegio de Medicina Interna de Mexico which through the support of other medical societies involved and the work of experts and specialist in this disease, developed these guidelines using a consensus methodology with several work teams. These teams, reunited in a plenary session, presented and uniformed their criteria in such a way that current bibliography has been reviewed and actualized in order to adapt it to our national reality and circumstances regarding venous thromboembolic disease.
