- PreviewThis was a very large study involving nearly 900,000 patients that was done to evaluate venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk as well as the risk of transfusion after major abdominopelvic surgical procedures. The authors also analyzed the association of the surgical procedure with the incidence of VTE. A further goal was to evaluate their definition of the Caprini score and see if it improves the association of their model with VTE. The primary outcome was VTE incidence within 30 days of surgery, and the secondary outcome was the incidence of blood transfusion within 30 days postoperatively.
