Abstract
Overuse of thromboprophylaxis is not an infrequent behavior in internal medicine. However, differently from underuse, overuse of thromboprophylaxis is rarely taken into account, and only few studies have addressed this issue. The purpose of our study was to try to understand the reasons behind this phenomenon.
