Preoperative Biomarkers and Thromboelastometry According to Caprini Venous Thromboembolism Risk Stratification in Bariatric Patients: Are Clinical Risk Assessments Enough?
Preoperative D-dimer and CRP are significantly increased in bariatric patients and correlate with prothrombotic features on thromboelastometry. No significant differences were found comparing viscoelastic tests among CRS groups, which suggests patients with marked prothrombotic findings are not being differentiated into higher-risk categories by clinical assessment alone.
