A retrospective study of the quality of life and problems experienced by patients who developed pregnancy related VTE. It involves patients seen at JUH in 2012-2020. A questionnaire will be filled by those patients and any other patients in Jordan. It was translated to an Arabic form from EQ-5D, VEINES-QOL/SYM questionnaire and PEmb-QoL. The quality of their lives will be assessed and the problems encountered are going to be analyzed to try to find some solutions. This project is going to be a national research project with the efforts to try to find common platforms for those patients and nidus to establish a national support group.
