Postpartum pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis guideline adherence and post-delivery complications: a single-center retrospective cohort study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate adherence to obstetric (OB) and anesthesia (ANE) guidelines for the timing of postpartum pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis and its association with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and other complications. They found that while adherence to ANE guidelines was high (80.6%), adherence to OB guidelines was low (15.5%), and only OB guideline adherence was linked to reduced readmission rates after cesarean delivery, with no significant impact on VTE or other complications observed. Overall, the study highlights the need for improved adherence to OB guidelines despite trends showing increased compliance over time.
