Study Overview
Brief Summary
AIM OF STUDY
To assess and compare the efficacy and safety of Dabigatran and Aspirin in prevention of Venous Thromboembolism in Pelvic and Acetabular injuries
OBJECTIVES
1. To compare the effectiveness of Dabigatran and Aspirin in preventing Symptomatic or Asymptomatic Deep vein Thrombosis .
2. To compare the safety of Dabigatran and Aspirin in terms of major post-surgical haemorrhage.
Hypothesis - Dabigatran is more effective than aspirin in preventing Thromboembolism

Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients below 18 years of age
- •Patients with open injuries of the lower limb requiring external fixators/soft tissue cover in the form of grafts/flaps which precludes compression stockings application will be excluded.
- •Patients with Bilateral/contralateral lower limb injuries
- •Patients with concomitant head/ abdominal injury requiring intervention
- •Patients with previous history of Venous Thromboembolism, coagulopathies, malignancy,

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Primary/Main outcome - The incidence of Deep vein thrombosis in patients treated with eithe Dabigatran or Aspirin
Time Frame: DVT will be assessed by venous doppler at 6 weeks and 12 weeks from date of surgery or date of trauma( if treated conservatively)
Secondary Outcomes
- The secondary outcome would be the incidence of major bleeding events in either of the two categories. Major bleeding events means the requirement of surgical intervention(Major bleeding event would normally follow up at our hospital. Or else it will be assessed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks follow up if managed in other hospitals)
