Article Synopsis
- Traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injuries carry a significant risk of thromboembolism in the initial months post-injury, but there are currently no standardized guidelines for prevention.
- A research initiative gathered insights from published studies and expert surveys to formulate recommendations complying with German S3 guidelines for thromboembolism prevention in spinal cord injury patients.
- Asymptomatic patients don’t require specific screening, but those with more severe neurological issues may benefit from low-dose heparins and mechanical methods like compression stockings; ongoing research is needed for more personalized prevention strategies.
Background: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at risk of thrombosis and bleeding. Data on the risks during rehabilitation are inconsistent, and thromboprophylactic strategies are heterogeneous. We aimed to evaluate the thrombotic risk and bleeding events of SCI patients during rehabilitation.
