Core Tip	This matched case-control study evaluated the temporal association between physical restraint and venous thromboembolism (VTE) among psychiatric inpatients. Physical restraint was independently associated with increased VTE risk, which was particularly elevated among patients with cumulative restraint exposure exceeding 12 hours and within 7 days after restraint discontinuation. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating restraint-related temporal indicators into VTE monitoring and prevention strategies in psychiatric wards.
