Overview

VTE risk-prophylaxis gap persists in Turkish inpatients; leaves open whether targeted audits improve uptake.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1701 patients hospitalized for acute or exacerbated chronic medical illnesses or elective major surgery at 11 different hospitals across Turkey.
I
Intervention
Thromboprophylaxis
O
Outcome
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk according to ACCP criteria and use of thromboprophylaxis

A significant proportion of hospitalized patients in Turkey are at risk for VTE, yet thromboprophylaxis remains substantially underutilized.
