Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), is a major cause of morbidity and mortality [1] VTE is linked to several risk factors, including age, obesity, immobilisation, and active cancer [2] VTE is also associated with biological sex, with epidemiological data showing males and females have different susceptibility to VTE at different life stages [3–7] Furthermore, the risk of hospitalisation due to VTE and the length of hospital stay are influenced by sex [8,9]
