Avoids routine thrombophilia screening post-VTE; leaves open better recurrence predictors in selected patients.
Is routine laboratory thrombophilia screening warranted in patients with a prior venous thromboembolism?
Routine laboratory thrombophilia screening in patients with prior VTE is not recommended as it does not meaningfully improve recurrence risk prediction or guide anticoagulation duration.
Paul A. Kyrle (2013) studied this question.
