May inform quality improvement in post-operative VTE prevention; hypothesis-generating for adherence barriers in high-risk orthopaedics.
Modern data on the rate of venous thromboembolism development after orthopaedic surgeries as well as the results of international prospective ETHOS study (17 countries including Russia, 161 centers) are presented. The aim of the study was to assess post-operative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis prescribed and received in patients after high-risk orthopaedic surgeries (total hip arthroplasty, femur osteosynthesis, total knee arthroplasty) as compared with the 2004 American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines. Peculiarities of thrombosis prophylaxis in Russia centers are shown.
