Key result
Orthopedic surgery significantly increased the mean Autar Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk Assessment Scale score from 9.36 preoperatively to 12.85 postoperatively.
Why the study?
Deep vein thrombosis is an important life-threatening complication in orthopedic surgery patients, and its risk factors remain debatable.
Cross-Sectional (n=244)
No
Mean Difference: 3.49
Absolute Event Rate: 12.85% vs 9.36%
p-value: p=<0.001
Major orthopedic surgery significantly increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis as measured by the Autar DVTRAS, with advanced age, immobility, and chronic diseases being key contributing factors.
DVT risk scores rise after orthopedic surgery with identifiable factors; leaves open whether Autar scale-guided prophylaxis alters clinical events.

Kaya et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Orthopedic surgery (n=244). Orthopedic surgery vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Autar Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk Assessment Scale (Autar DVTRAS) score (MD 3.49, p=<0.001). Orthopedic surgery significantly increased the mean Autar Deep Vein Thrombosis Risk Assessment Scale score from 9.36 preoperatively to 12.85 postoperatively.
