Implication

May support preoperative DVT risk stratification in hip replacement; leaves open prospective validation before adoption.

Does a preoperative predictive index using FDP, PA-inhibitor, and t-PA predict postoperative DVT in patients undergoing total hip replacement?

Population

111 patients undergoing total hip replacement prophylactically treated with acetylsalicylic acid or heparin-dihydroergotamine

Intervention

Preoperative predictive index using fibrinogen degradation products (FDP), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PA-inhibitor), and tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA)

Outcome

Postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) detected by ascending venographyhard clinical

A preoperative predictive index using FDP, PA-inhibitor, and t-PA demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity for predicting postoperative DVT in total hip replacement patients.
