Background: Deep vein thrombosis is a public health problem with substantial morbidity and mortality globally and it remains a common and serious medical condition manifesting in patients with recognized or unrecognized risk factors or complicating the outcome of critically ill and admitted patients. When it is misdiagnosed or improperly treated, deep venous thrombosis may lead to pulmonary embolism, the most devastating complication of acute deep venous thrombosis. Moreover, Hospitalized patients are especially at risk for venous thrombi embolism as most have multiple risk factors. In Ethiopia, death due to complications of deep vein thrombosis is very significant however its incidence, risk factors, and preventive methods are not well studied so we devise this study.&lt;br&gt;
Objective: To determine associated risk factors of Deep vein thrombosis in patients admitted to medical wards at Hospitals in North Wollo and Waghemra Zone, from&lt;br&gt;
Methods: A case-control study design was employed on 348 patients admitted patients at medical wards of Hospitals in North Wollo and Waghemra zones. Of them 87 were cases and 261 were controls. The patients&amp;#39; record cards were reviewed from January 1, 2021, to December 30, 2023. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire by trained data collectors entered into Epidata version 4.1 and analyzed using STATA 17. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the study participants. A Bi-variable and multi-variable binary logistic regression was used to identify significantly associated factors with deep vein thrombosis. Adjusted odds ratios were calculated and P &amp;lt; 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.&lt;br&gt;
Result: History of major surgery (AOR = 7.5, 95% CI: 1.3-24, having comorbidities (AOR =3.78, 95% CI: 1.31-10.9), being pregnant (AOR=3.6, 95%: 1.05-12.3), and RVI serostatus (AOR =1.5, 95% CI: 1.1-8.9) had a statistically significant association with developing Deep vein thrombosis.&lt;br&gt;
Conclusion and Recommendation: Major surgery, pregnancy, comorbidities, and retroviral infection of the patient are the associated factors with deep vein thrombosis. Based on these findings, early ambulation of post-surgical patients, provision of prophylactic anticoagulants for pregnant and patients with comorbidities and early aggressive management of opportunistic infection for retroviral infected patients are recommended interventions.&lt;br&gt;
