Thromboprophylaxis for Arthroplasty Patients

As the SFK holds no surgery dates, a proxy variable had to be identified. Thrombophylactic drugs, prescribed within a two-week time window of the surgery date (4 days before surgery-10 days after surgery), were chosen as all arthroplasty patients routinely receive thromboprophylaxis after knee/hip arthroplasty surgery to prevent thrombotic events [12 ]. The first and second choices for thromboprophylaxis after arthroplasty are low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) and direct-oral anticoagulants (DOACs), both were used for linkage (Table 2).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
