On Thursday 5 March 2026 at 13:00 Gencer Kurt defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Venous thromboembolism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Long-term and postoperative risk".
A new PhD project from the Faculty of Health, Aarhus University, investigates the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The project examines when the risk of VTE is highest during the course of IBD and around surgery, and how this knowledge can support more targeted prevention. Using nationwide Danish health registries, the project follows patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease over time and in relation to surgical treatment. The overall aim is to improve identification of high-risk periods and patient groups who may benefit from better tailored preventive strategies.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in Auditorium, Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
