However, the study points out that even with this increased risk, the absolute risk of developing VTE, if seated and immobile for more than four hours, remains relatively low at about 1 in 6000.

但是，研究指出，即使伴有这一增加的风险，如果坐着不动超过4小时，罹患静脉血栓栓塞的绝对风险仍然相对较低，约为6000分之一。

Statins may reduce the risk for VTE in this patient population, he said.

他说，他汀类药物可能会降低这类患者的VTE风险。

But an additional indication, for acutely ill medical patients at risk for VTE, does not appear likely in the near future, as a new trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that one of these novel drugs, though effective at preventing VTE, also resulted in a significant increase in bleeding risk.
