Article Synopsis
- Patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are at a high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but prophylaxis treatment is often delayed due to concerns about worsening intracranial hemorrhage. This study aimed to assess the safety of early enoxaparin administration in stable TBI patients.
- In a retrospective study involving 669 TBI patients, those who received early VTE prophylaxis (within 72 hours) showed lower rates of intracranial hemorrhage progression before treatment compared to those who started later, with similar rates of complications between the two groups after starting prophylaxis.
- The findings suggest that administering early VTE prophylaxis does not increase the risk of worsening intracran
Background: Excess visceral adiposity induces chronic subclinical inflammation resulting in the metabolic syndrome. Whether excess visceral adiposity impacts posttraumatic inflammatory profiles more is unknown. We hypothesized that obese patients (body mass index >30 kg/m) with higher visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue distribution would have increased inflammatory outcomes.
