- The study analyzed readmission rates for patients who experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI) using data from the Nationwide Readmissions Database.
- The readmission rate was found to be 28.7%, with major causes including subsequent injuries, circulatory problems, and nervous system issues.
- Certain risk factors for higher readmission included being male, older age, multiple comorbidities, and being discharged to a skilled care facility.
Introduction: Patients admitted after traumatic injuries are at high risk for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is commonly used to prevent VTE in this patient population; however, the optimal dosing strategy has yet to be determined. To address this question, a fixed-dosing strategy of LMWH was compared to a weight-based dosing strategy of LMWH for VTE prophylaxis.

Our VTEP guideline was changed from fixed-dosing to a weight-based dosing strategy using enoxaparin in June 2019.
