Kahn1 reviewed the clinical diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and presented recent epidemiological data on DVT incidence and risk factors. The author also reviewed recently published clinical prediction indexes for DVT2 designed to improve the cost-effectiveness and utility of clinicians' diagnostic assessment of persons suspected of having DVT. Neither Kahn nor the authors of the prediction indexes included cigarette smoking as a risk factor for DVT.
