Research recommendations coming out of this guidance
-
Risk assessment:- What is the accuracy of individual risk assessment tools in predicting the risk of venous
thromboembolism (VTE) and risk of bleeding in people admitted to hospital? -
Dose strategies for people who are obese:- What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of weight-based dose-adjustment strategies of lowmolecular-weight heparin (LMWH) compared with fixed-dose strategies of LMWH for preventing VTE in people who are very obese (BMI over 35) who are admitted to hospital or having day procedures (including surgery and chemotherapy)?
-
Direct oral anticoagulants for people with lower limb immobilisation:- What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants for preventing VTE in people with lower limb immobilisation?
-
Aspirin prophylaxis for people with fragility fractures of the pelvis, hip or proximal femur:- What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of aspirin alone versus other pharmacological and/or mechanical prophylaxis strategies (alone or in combination) for people with fragility fractures of the pelvis, hip or proximal femur?
-
Duration of prophylaxis for elective total hip replacement surgery:- What is the clinical and cost effectiveness of standard versus extended duration pharmacological prophylaxis for preventing VTE in people undergoing elective total hip replacement surgery?
