Objective  To study the related risk factors for recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Methods  The literatures about the related factors for recurrence of VTE were searched. The relationships between the factors and recurrence of VTE were determined by meta-analysis.
Results  A total of 12 literatures were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that factors such as males, age<50 years old, malignant tumor, and antiphospholipid syndrome related with the recurrence of the first VTE after treatment, but there were no correlation between the recurrence of VTE, the type of first VTE, and causes of VTE.
Conclusions  The recurrence of VTE correlate with various factors. In order to avoid the recurrence of VTE, the patients with the risk factors for recurrence of VTE should be appropriate to extend the duration of anticoagulation
