Does simplifying thromboprophylaxis improve adherence to guidelines in patients undergoing total hip or knee surgery?
Simplifying thromboprophylaxis regimens may improve adherence to guidelines and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty.
Richard J. Friedman (2010) conducted a review in Venous thromboembolism after total hip or knee surgery. Simplified thromboprophylaxis was evaluated. Simplifying thromboprophylaxis with more convenient and safe anticoagulants could improve adherence to guidelines and outcomes in orthopaedic surgery.
