Do simple prophylactic measures reduce the incidence of postoperative deep venous thrombosis in postoperative patients?
Absolute Event Rate: 4% vs 14%
Simple prophylactic measures appear to reduce the incidence of postoperative deep venous thrombosis, and the radioactive fibrinogen technique correlates well with venography for detection.
Makis J. Tsapogas (1971) conducted a cohort in postoperative venous thrombosis (n=95). simple prophylactic measures vs. control was evaluated on Deep venous thrombosis.
