For example, in October 2024, according to a report published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the US-based National Library of Medicine, lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis accounted for 88.5% of cases with a 32.1% admission rate, while upper-extremity deep vein thrombosis represented 11.7% of cases with a 37% admission rate. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of deep vein thrombosis is contributing to the expansion of the compression stockings market.
