Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "World Journal of Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s00268-020-05638-4
Abstract: The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) persists beyond hospitalization in surgical patients, yet post-hospital discharge chemoprophylaxis regimens are not common. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature regarding extended-duration (post-hospital discharge)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ans.18364
Abstract: Hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) incurs significant morbidity and mortality. Chemoprophylaxis is proven to reduce the risk of VTE and is recommended by guidelines. However, chemoprophylaxis increases the risk of bleeding. Therefore, chemoprophylaxis prescription requires balancing… read more here.
