Key result
Following gastroenterological surgery, the overall frequency of deep vein thrombosis was 0.3% and pulmonary embolism was 0.2%, with risk varying by procedure and postoperative complications.
Why the study?
The frequency and risk factors of perioperative, symptomatic venous thromboembolism after gastroenterological surgery were investigated.
What are the frequency and risk factors for symptomatic venous thromboembolism after gastroenterological surgery?

What are the frequency and risk factors for symptomatic venous thromboembolism after gastroenterological surgery?
The risk of VTE and PE varies by gastroenterological surgical procedure and is significantly influenced by postoperative complications such as sepsis, prolonged ventilation, and cardiac events.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low VTE rates support procedure-specific risk assessment; leaves open optimal prophylaxis strategies in prospective trials.
Hata et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Gastroenterological surgery (n=516,217). Gastroenterological surgery and perioperative risk factors was evaluated on Frequency of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Following gastroenterological surgery, the overall frequency of deep vein thrombosis was 0.3% and pulmonary embolism was 0.2%, with risk varying by procedure and postoperative complications.
