- Lead Sponsor
- Hanoi Medical University
- Brief Summary
Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common post-operative complication. The necessity for anticoagulant therapy after orthopedic surgeries is widely understood, but treatment administration patterns in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after orthopedic surgeries during the hospital stay have yet to be examined.
The main objective of this study is to perform a comparative effectiveness review examining the benefits and harms associated with venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries.
It is around efficacy and safety evaluation of using anticoagulant for thromboprophylaxis in patients undergoing orthopedic surgeries taking into the account the reliable selection of patients most benefit.
The aims of this study is to analyze patient records in teaching hospitals database of our country (including: Hanoi Medical University, Bach Mai Hospital, Cho Ray Hospital, Viet Duc University Hospital) and compare the outcomes and costs between different types of anticoagulant medications that were prescribed for the prevention of VTE following orthopedic surgeries. This analysis will assess and quantify the outcomes, resource utilization, and cost of care for patients receiving rivaroxaban or enoxaparin. The outcomes of interest include the occurence of DVT and PE, rates of major bleeds, medical resource utilization, and total costs (medical plus pharmacy).

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Orthopedic surgery patient records Lovenox (enoxaparin) Medical records from patients aged 18 years or older with orthopedic surgeries during the hospitalization Orthopedic surgery patient records Xarelto (rivaroxaban) Medical records from patients aged 18 years or older with orthopedic surgeries during the hospitalization
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) 1 year The frequency of Deep-vein thrombosis
Symptoms and signs of DVT may include unilateral leg swelling, pain in the affected leg, calf tenderness in affected leg, increased leg warmth, erythema of affected leg, or a "palpable cord" may be felt in the affected leg.Mean length of hospital stay in days 1 year Length of hospital stay was obtained from the discharge record and was defined as the number of days from patient admission to the hospital for orthopaedic surgeries until discharge from the hospital.
Total cost of care for index hospitalization in Vietnamese dong (VND) 1 year The mean total costs (medical plus pharmacy costs) from patient records in each antithrombotic cohort from the index hospitalization
Death 1 year Death from any cause including venous thromboembolism
Non-fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) 1 year Frequency of pulmonary embolism (non-fatal)
Regarding Pulmonary Embolism (PE), diagnosis is suspected in patients with dyspnea, tachypnea, pleuritic chest pain, cough, and/or fever. Diagnosis begins with initial risk stratification "Wells Clinical Model for Evaluating the Pretest Probability of pulmonary embolism (PE) " based on presence of shock or persistent hypotension to identify patients at high risk of early mortality.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Major bleeding risk After 4 hours of the first dose and up to 2 days after the last dose of the study drug The incidence of major bleeding beginning after the first dose of the study drug and up to 2 days after the last dose of the study drug (on-treatment period). Major bleeding is defined as bleeding that is fatal, occurs in a critical organ (e.g., retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular, and intraspinal bleeding), or requires reoperation or extra surgical-site bleeding that was clinically overt and is associated with a fall in the hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter or that requires transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or packed cells.
Other on-treatment bleeding After 4 hours of the first dose and up to 2 days after the last dose of the study drug The incidence of major bleeding beginning after the first dose of the study drug and up to 2 days after the last dose of the study drug (on-treatment period). Major bleeding is defined as bleeding that is fatal, occurs in a critical organ (e.g., retroperitoneal, intracranial, intraocular, and intraspinal bleeding), or requires reoperation or extra surgical-site bleeding that was clinically overt and is associated with a fall in the hemoglobin level of at least 2 g per deciliter or that requires transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or packed cells.
