Introduction: The impact of prolonged emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) on appropriately timed pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEp) and VTE outcomes is unknown in trauma.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to civilian trauma centers participating in the American College of Surgeons' TQIP (2019-2021). Patients with severe solid organ, head, or spine injury, early hemorrhage control intervention, pre-existing home anticoagulation or bleeding disorder, inter-facility transfer or early discharge, and injury severity score ≤9 were excluded.

Dexamethasone (DEX) is currently the treatment of choice for patients with oxygen-dependent COVID-19. It has been observed, primarily in vitro, that dexamethasone induces the expression of CYP3A and the ABCB1 gene, which encodes P-glycoprotein (P-gp). This has raised concerns about potential interactions between DEX and substrates of CYP3A and P-gp, such as direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC).

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) in burn patients is an under-diagnosed and potentially serious complication. Its incidence varies according to studies performed. This retrospective and descriptive study conducted in an intensive burn care department in Tunisia over a period of 22 months (January 1, 2021 to October 30, 2022) included 24 patients who presented a thromboembolic complication among a total of 785 admissions (incidence of 3%): pulmonary embolism in 15 cases and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in 9 cases.

To limit complications and optimize anticoagulant therapy, some units treating venous thrombo embolism offer a formalized educational program to patients. In our clinic we developed a patient questionnaire to target aspects of patient knowledge about their venous thromboembolism (VTE) disease and their treatment that require reinforcement. The VTE questionnaire, composed of 7 questions, has been proposed to adult patients with a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism requiring anticoagulant therapy for at least 3 months.
