What's new in VTE risk and prevention in orthopedic surgery.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A State of the Art lecture titled "What's New in VTE Risk and Prevention in Orthopedic Surgery" was presented at the ISTH congress in 2019. Patients undergoing orthopedic surgery have long been recognized to be at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and were among the first patient groups to be studied in VTE prophylaxis trials. From the late 1950s to 2010s, prophylaxis trials in major orthopedic surgery tended to focus on venographic deep vein thrombosis and assessed thromboprophylaxis in all patients based on a population approach. In general, anticoagulants were favored over mechanical prophylaxis or aspirin, and longer-duration prophylaxis was favored over shorter durations. As discussed in this paper, more recently, orthopedic prophylaxis has started to become more nuanced and individualized. Modern trials are focusing on symptomatic VTE as outcomes; there has been a resurgence in interest in aspirin for prophylaxis, and there has been a slow move to studying ways to evaluate VTE risk in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and recommending thromboprophylaxis to patients based on individual attributes, in whom risk stratification and weighing of benefit versus risk of thromboprophylaxis is becoming key. We also touch on VTE risk and guideline recommendations to prevent VTE in 2 other commonly encountered orthopedic populations: patients undergoing knee arthroscopy and those with distal leg fractures. Finally, we summarize relevant new data on this topic presented during the 2019 ISTH annual congress in Melbourne.
