Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Occurrence of Symptomatic Venous Thromboembolic Events
Time Frame: 11 weeks
Occurrence of symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) events in patients treated with Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) after orthopaedic surgery (either Total Hip Replacement (THR) or Total Knee Replacement surgery (TKR)). Symptomatic VTE events were defined as a confirmed proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a confirmed pulmonary embolism (PE).
Occurrence of Major Bleeding Events
Time Frame: 11 weeks
Occurrence of major bleeding events (MBEs) in patients treated with Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) after orthopaedic surgery (either THR or TKR surgery). MBEs were defined as any fatal haemorrhage, any overt bleeding greater than could be expected combined with a loss of haemoglobin ≥ 2 g/dL or requiring transfusion ≥ 2 packed red blood cells units (PRBC), any symptomatic retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular or intraspinal haemorrhage or any bleeding requireing treatment cessation or reoperation. a confirmed proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a confirmed pulmonary emboliam (PE).
