About this study
Official title: VTE Prophylaxis Across the Continuum of Care: High Risk Patients at Hospital Discharge
An investigator initiated study exploring VTE prophylaxis at the time of hospital discharge.
Read the detailed description
It appears likely that many patients will remain at risk for VTE at the time of hospital discharge. These risks will go unrecognized, and discharge prophylaxis orders will not be prescribed.
To test this hypothesis, we will perform a retrospective review of approximately 2,500 patients at Brigham and Women's Hospital at risk for VTE at the time of hospital discharge to determine what proportion received VTE prophylaxis. We will correlate the implementation of discharge VTE prophylaxis with the occurrence of symptomatic DVT and pulmonary embolism within 90 days of hospital discharge.
We will also conduct a substudy of this patient population to determine adherence to VTE prophylaxis among hospitalized patients.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acutely ill medical and surgical patients who were hospitalized at BWH, and at-risk for VTE, but were not treated with prophylaxis at hospital discharge. | |
| 2 | Acutely ill medical and surgical patients who were at risk for VTE at time of hospital discharge and prescribed a prophylaxis strategy. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Symptomatic PE/DVT within 90 days of hospital discharge.
Measured: 90 days
