Female patients with blunt mechanism, age between 15 and 50\u00a0years old, were eligible for inclusion. Patients who presented as transfers, hospitalized for less than 72\u00a0h, discharged against medical advice, injury severity score &lt;9, or abbreviated injury scale\u00a0=\u00a06 of any region were excluded. Pregnant patients were matched 1:2 with nonpregnant female patients by age, injury characteristics, comorbidities, and type and timing of chemical VTE prophylaxis. The primary outcomes were the incidences of VTE, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE).
