BACKGROUND Since 2011 in England there has been a period of unexplained higher deaths and medical admissions which policy makers have assumed are attributable to the increasing age of the population and the inability of health and social care to limit demand. METHODS Analysis of data obtained from NHS and Office of National Statistics. RESULTS Contrary to the trends in certain other medical diagnoses those for thrombosis show a shift to lower acute admissions, which mainly occur in the young as a same day stay emergency admission. A reduction in occupied bed days also occurs. CONCLUSION A shift in the balance of inflammatory/anti-inflammatory forces may be responsible for this dichotomous behaviour.
