Projected impact of guidelines on incidence of venous thromboembolism after cesarean delivery in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is large variation in recommended for postcesarean delivery venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis among commonly used guidelines.

Objectives

The aim of the study is to estimate implications of adoption of VTE prevention guidelines for rates of receipt of VTE prophylactic therapy and VTE following cesarean delivery (CD).

Methods

We used administrative data from the 2015-2019 Nationalwide Readmissions Database to identify cesarean deliveries and rates of VTE stratified by risk factors, leading to different prophylactic strategies based on several national guidelines. We used input parameters from the literature to construct a hybrid decision tree/Markov model to project the implications of guideline adoption on VTE rates for the first 6 weeks followi
