Key Points

To evaluate the role of mobility in the timing and effectiveness of venous thromboembolism prevention post-traumatic brain injury.
Assessed outcomes related to venous thromboembolism incidence and timing of prophylaxis initiation.
Higher mobility levels correlated with a significant reduction in VTE events (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60-0.90, p=0.005).
Early initiation of VTE prophylaxis was associated with reduced risk when combined with mobilization strategies.

Abstract

The optimal timing of pharmacologic venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the most challenging dilemmas in neurotrauma. Clinicians must balance ...
