Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated when venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs after major surgery to determine how long thromboprophylaxis (preventative treatment) should last.
- - Researchers systematically reviewed 6258 studies and found that out of the 22 eligible studies, nearly half (47.1%) of VTE events occurred within the first week post-surgery, with the risk decreasing over the following weeks.
- - The findings highlight that while most VTEs happen shortly after surgery, a significant number occur later, which is essential information for tailoring postoperative care and guideline recommendations.
