Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Risk Stratification in Otolaryngology: Socioeconomic and Subspecialty Insights.

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
Objective: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of preventable perioperative mortality in otolaryngology, highlighting the urgent need for validated risk assessments such as the Caprini score to guide prophylaxis and enhance patient safety. The objective of this study was to determine VTE outcomes following otolaryngology surgeries, stratified by Caprini scores, otolaryngological subspecialties, and socioeconomic conditions represented as Area Deprivation Index (ADI). Methods: This study was conducted via a multi-year retrospective review of 9036 otolaryngology procedures performed at multiple tertiary care hospitals within a large health system from June 2016 through December 2022. Logistic regression and multivariable models were used to investigate the relationship between VTE and Caprini score, subspecialty, and ADI. Results: A total of 9036 otolaryngology surgeries were analyzed. Of those, 174 (1.9%) patients experienced a VTE and 33 (0.4%) of those patients experienced a VTE within 2 weeks after otolaryngological surgery (VTE Subset). A Caprini score of ≥ 6 resulted in a VTE (VTE: OR Unadjusted = 1.49, OR Adjusted = 1.47, Conclusion: Caprini guidelines can function as a robust tool for ruling out VTE risk in otolaryngology surgical patients regardless of subspecialty and ADI. Level of Evidence: III.
