This review emphasizes the necessity of routine VTE risk stratification (e.g., using the Padua score) to guide appropriate pharmacological or mechanical prophylaxis in hospitalized medical patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
VTE prevention gaps persist in hospitalized patients; Level 5 data leaves open optimal strategies for surgery and primary care.
Venous thromboembolic complications remain a widespread cause of mortality and disability in hospitalized patients both in surgery and primary care all over the world, despite the fact that medical and mechanical methods of prevention have been known for several decades.
