"Following previous disasters in Japan, an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been reported among evacuees residing in shelters or sleeping in their vehicles. This highlights the importance of raising awareness about VTE prevention, as well as ensuring early detection and timely treatment.
In response to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake, which occurred on 1 January 2024, the Japanese Society of Phlebology promptly redistributed elastic stockings that had been stockpiled across the country to the affected areas. They collaborated with medical rescue teams to implement VTE prevention awareness initiatives, while also leveraging media platforms to disseminate information about VTE and emphasize the importance of preventive measures. In certain regions, systematic frameworks and manuals were developed to guide these activities, enabling healthcare professionals to carry out coordinated prevention and awareness campaigns. In addition, DVT echo screening was conducted in some areas, providing data for analyzing risk factors associated with VTE.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VTE prevention and awareness activities, as well as the early detection and treatment efforts, following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake. The findings from this study are expected to contribute to the development of strategies to reduce disaster-related deaths from VTE, particularly in the context of future major disasters, such as the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake."

Disaster medical workers acknowledge that VTE prevention and awareness-raising activities have demonstrated a certain degree of effectiveness in the past. Notably, there is a consensus that early-stage prevention and awareness campaigns, conducted in collaboration between healthcare professionals and the media, are particularly beneficial. As a result, in recent disasters, such initiatives have been implemented relatively early, primarily led by medical professionals in partnership with media outlets. However, there remains a scarcity of large-scale studies examining the incidence of VTE in disaster settings.In this study, we aim to gain scientifically valuable insights into cardiovascular disease management during future disasters by conducting a survey on the actual number of VTE cases in the disaster-affected area before and after the event, as well as examining the effectiveness of prevention and treatment interventions. This retrospective observational study is designed based on the number of cases that can be realistically investigated within the study period, informed by the actual number of cases treated in the disaster region
