Clinical Audit on Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Risk Assessment and Guideline Adherence in Surgical Practice
This audit demonstrates that low-cost, multifaceted interventions can strengthen VTE prevention in a resource-limited Sudanese hospital. The unique contribution of this study lies in adapting international guidelines to the Sudanese hospital context, thereby offering a feasible and context-sensitive model for comparable low-resource settings. Sustained improvement will require standardized tools, continuous education, and regular re-auditing.
