Clinical Trial Summary

Considering observational studies that suggested a relationship between acutely ill medical patients and venous thromboembolism (VTE), interventional studies with anticoagulant medications indicated a marked decline in VTE during and after hospitalization. Despite the therapeutic value of lowering this result, there is a low inclination to utilize anticoagulants in patients hospitalized for acute medical diseases. This observational research aims to assess the appropriateness of venous thromboprophylaxis offered to patients admitted to internal medicine wards.


Description:

Epidemiological studies have shown a significant prevalence of thromboembolism in patients admitted to medical wards. Based on this, various clinical studies using anticoagulants such as unfractionated heparin (UFH), low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH), and fondaparinux to prevent thromboembolism have been conducted in patients hospitalized for acute medical illness. Interventional studies have repeatedly shown that anticoagulant prophylaxis lowers the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and DVT-related mortality. These findings led to recommendations to employ anticoagulant prophylaxis in patients hospitalized for acute medical disease; yet, anticoagulant prophylaxis is often underutilized in-hospital medical wards. This study's primary objective is to assess the adequacy of venous thromboprophylaxis delivered to medical inpatients who need pharmacologic intervention in accordance with the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guideline using the Padua prediction score.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Appropriateness of venous thromboprophylaxis The primary outcome of this study is to evaluate the appropriateness of venous thromboprophylaxis administered to medical inpatients who need pharmacologic interventions according to the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) 2012 guidelines and its second update in 2021. August - December 2022
Secondary Reasons for insufficient venous thromboprophylaxis The secondary purpose is to explore some significant reasons for insufficient venous thromboprophylaxis in various patients, such as prescription errors and administration mistakes. August - December 2022
