Physician compliance with guidelines for deep-vein thrombosis prevention in total hip and knee arthroplasty

Abstract: Although almost all THA and TKA patients both inside and outside the USA received prophylaxis, a large proportion did not receive treatment in accordance with the ACCP guidelines. Our study may have overestimated the use of recommended prophylaxis as some participating investigators may have had a specific interest in VTE prophylaxis. Furthermore, although analyses were restricted to approximately three-quarters of patients who had outpatient follow-up data, their characteristics were similar to those in the e… Show more

“…Os níveis de hemoglobina de 80% dos pacientes estavam abaixo do normal; 60% dos pacientes com diagnósticos de TVP apresentaram queda de 2g/dl ou mais nos níveis de hemoglobina no pós-operatório; contudo, nenhum paciente com flebografia positiva para TVP recebeu transfusão sanguínea no transoperatório ou pós-operatório. Devido ao grande número de fatores de risco existentes para o desenvolvimento de TVP, sua profilaxia torna-se extremamente importante (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21) .…”

“…Apesar de esses fármacos serem eficazes em diminuir a incidência de TVP e TEP após cirurgia ortopédica, certas limitações restringem seu uso. Os antagonistas da vitamina K, apesar de administrados por via oral, apresentam início de ação lento, alta variabilidade entre a resposta dos pacientes à droga, necessidade de monitorização laboratorial freqüente, para evitar superdosagens, além de potencial interação com outras drogas (2,(18)(19) . Por sua vez, ambas as heparinas necessitam ser administradas por via parenteral, o que poderia ser considerado um fator para diminuir a adesão ao tratamento, além do desconforto da via (4,14,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33) .…”

“…Despite the periodically publication of many "evidenced-based" statements in order to assist clinicians, several studies report a level of guidelines adherence surprisingly low [3,4]. At the same time, more frequently hypotheses of medical liability for incongruous prophylaxis, failure or delay in diagnosis and/or unsatisfactory treatment of venous thromboembolism are feared.…”

“…1,2 In the United States, the oral anticoagulant most commonly prescribed in the outpatient setting is the vitamin K antagonist (VKA) warfarin. 3 In 2004, 25 00 000 US patients received warfarin, 4,5 and nearly 31 million warfarin prescriptions were dispensed. 6 Although efficacious, VKAs are limited by a narrow therapeutic window, slow onset/offset, variable response, a requirement for coagulation monitoring, and food and drug interactions that make their use challenging.…”
