Patient adherence and satisfaction with self-administration of prophylactic Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) after orthopaedic trauma surgery: a prospective observational cohort study

Nearly half of the patients reported moderate or low adherence with prophylactic LMWH after orthopaedic trauma surgery. As adherence may influence prophylactic effectiveness and increase postoperative venous thromboembolism risk, further investigations into more user-friendly alternatives are an unmet need.

Abstract

Nearly half of the patients reported moderate or low adherence with prophylactic LMWH after orthopaedic trauma surgery. As adherence may influence prophylactic effectiveness and increase postoperative venous thromboembolism risk, further investigations into more user-friendly alternatives are an unmet need.
