背景 与航空旅行相关的静脉血栓栓塞危险因素的频率和作用尚不确定。我们的目的是确定一组长途航空旅行者中这种疾病的发生频率，并调查潜在风险因素的作用。方法我们设计了一项前瞻性研究，招募了年龄在 18 岁至 70 岁之间、乘飞机旅行 4 小时或更长时间的个体。在旅行之前和之后进行 D-二聚体测量。 D-二聚体呈阴性的参与者（
Background The frequency and role of risk factors for venous thromboembolism related to air travel is uncertain. We aimed to establish the frequency of this disorder in a group of long distance air travellers and to investigate the role of potential risk factors.Methods We designed a prospective study into which we recruited individuals aged between 18 and 70 years, travelling for 4 h or more by aircraft. D-dimer measurement was done before and after travel. Participants with a negative D-dimer (
