Sleep disorders increase the risk of venous thromboembolism in individuals without sleep apnea: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Taiwan

Highlights • The sleep-disorder (SD) cohort had a 1.79-fold adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for subsequent venous thromboembolism (VTE). • For both cohorts, the incidence of VTE increased with age. • For the people with SDs with any comorbidity, the increased risk of VTE was significant.
