Factors predicting venous thromboembolism after spine surgery

Factors predicting venous thromboembolism after spine surgery

BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was performed to explore predicted factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery in the treatment for spine degeneration diseases. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Many scholars have focused on VTE after spine surgery, but as for the risk factors of VTE have not reached a consensus. METHODS An extensive search of literature, "spine or spinal," "degeneration," "a...

Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolism After Spine Surgery

The efficacy and safety of chemical prophylaxis to prevent the development of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) following spine surgery are controversial because of the possibility of epidural hematoma formation. Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) after spine surgery occurs at a frequency similar to that seen after joint operations, so it is important to identify t...

Predicting of Venous Thromboembolism for Patients Undergoing Gynecological Surgery.

The purpose of this study was to determine the risk stratification of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing gynecological surgery. A retrospective study was conducted with a cohort of 739 consecutive female patients undergoing gynecological surgery between May 2008 and July 2013 in Beijing Chao-yang hospital. DVT of the leg was detected using complete compression and color Doppler...

Comparison of rivaroxaban and parnaparin for preventing venous thromboembolism after lumbar spine surgery

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of rivaroxaban for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) after lumbar spine surgery. METHODS In this randomized, controlled study, 665 patients who underwent lumbar surgery were randomly assigned to receive either rivaroxaban or parnaparin. Rivaroxaban and parnaparin were used for preventing postoperative venous t...
