Understanding Blood Clots in Florida
What this report covers, why it exists, and how to read the data.
What is a Blood Clot?
A blood clot, clinically a thrombus, is a gel-like clump of blood that forms inside a blood vessel.
Clotting is normal and necessary. When a clot forms in the wrong place or fails to dissolve, it can block blood flow and cause serious harm.
The medical term for harmful clots is venous thromboembolism, or VTE.
DVT vs. PE
DVT (deep vein thrombosis): a clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg or arm. Causes swelling, pain, redness.
PE (pulmonary embolism): a clot that breaks loose and travels to the lungs. Can be life-threatening within hours.
96,416 encounters in Florida produced 123,500 documented diagnoses, meaning patients can develop more than one clot.
Why This Report Exists
The Emily Adkins Family Protection Act (HB 1421, 2025) makes Florida the first U.S. state to require statewide blood clot surveillance.
It is named after a young Floridian whose death from a pulmonary embolism prompted a family-led legislative campaign.
How to Read This Data
Encounters, not patients
A patient with multiple visits appears multiple times. This is standard for state surveillance.
16.4 million records reviewed
Near-census of Florida inpatient, ED, and ambulatory surgery activity for July 1st 2024 – June 1st 2025.
A conservative lower bound
Excludes physician offices, urgent care, and out-of-state hospitals. Real burden is higher.
How Cases Are Identified
65 qualifying ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes across six clinical categories:
Acute DVT • Proximal DVT • PE
Post-thrombotic Syndrome • Pregnancy-Related VTE
Other Venous Thromboses
What This Report Does NOT Do
✕ Determine the cause of any clot
✕ Adjudicate clinical decisions
✕ Assess whether cases were preventable
✕ Compare individual hospital performance
