Implication

Supports low VTE risk with current prophylaxis in bariatric surgery; leaves open optimal regimens in RCTs.

Structured PICO

Population

11,835 patients undergoing bariatric surgery (gastric banding, Roux-en-Y-gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy) in Germany, 72.5% female (mean BMI 48.1 kg/m²), 27.5% male (mean BMI 50.5 kg/m²).

Intervention

Antithrombotic prophylaxis (type, regimen, and time course documented)

Outcome

Incidence of clinically diagnosed deep venous thrombosis (VTE) or pulmonary embolism (PE)hard clinical

In a large German registry of bariatric surgery patients, the incidence of VTE and PE was very low (0.06% and 0.08%, respectively) with current prophylaxis regimens.

Limitations

Lack of randomized evidence
