VTE Prophylaxis: Duration
VTE Prophylaxis: Duration

Post Discharge Prophylaxis: Orthopedic Surgery
Guideline: ACCP 20122.4. For patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery, we suggest extending thromboprophylaxis in the outpatient period for up to 35 days from the day of surgery rather than for only 10 to 14 days (Grade 2B)
Guideline: AAOS 2011In the absence of reliable evidence about how long to employ these prophylactic strategies, it is the opinion of this work group that patients and physicians discuss the duration of prophylaxis
3
Post Discharge Prophylaxis: Cancer Surgery
4
Guideline: ACCP 20123.6.6. For high-VTE-risk patients undergoing abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancer who are not otherwise at high risk for major bleeding complications, we recommend extended duration pharmacologic prophylaxis (4 weeks) with LMWH over limited-duration prophylaxis

Extended or Post Discharge Thromboprophylaxisin Medically-Ill
Extended or Post Discharge • Result
Disease burden of VTE is shifting to the OP setting with shortening hospital stays
• LOS 4.5 days• 85% of VTE events are post discharge
What have we learned from prior studies(EXCLAIM, MAGELLAN)
Need to identify highest risk of VTE, but low risk of bleeding
How long to continue prophylaxis? 30 vs 45 days
Can we identify patients at highest risk?• Validated RAMs that address factors that
influence post discharge VTE events• IMPROVE or Padua or other RAM
Can we implement the use of validated clinical VTE RAMs +/- biomarkers
APEX vs MARINER
What are the strategies to strategies to minimize harm (bleeding)
• Active cancer• Renal insufficiency
Does VTE reduction exceed risk of bleeding?• Not for EXCLAIM, MAGELLAN, ADOPT• Possibly for APEX• MARINER results pending (tent’ve Aug 25th)
VTE in Medically Ill is Shifting to Post Discharge Settings
IMPROVE Registry (N = 15,156)• 26 sites from North/South America
and 24 sites from Europe and Australasia (July 2002 – September 2006)
• 184 VTE’s: • Median is 17 days, IQR 6-43 days
• 89 post discharge VTE’s: • Median is 44 days, IQR 25-68 days

US Hospital Performance Consortium for VTE (N = 20,994)• 35 Michigan hospitals in US (2011 –
2012)• 85.0% of VTE post-discharge
In-Hospital ThromboprophylaxisMay Not Reduce VTE Risk
US CMS claims analysis from 2005 – 2009 (N = 141,628)• LOS, mean (SD) - 4.4 (2.8) days• 3.9% received post-discharge prophylaxis (92% warfarin)• Hospital prophylaxis use did NOT reduce risk of post-discharge VTE (p = 0.398)
US Hospital Performance Consortium for VTE (N = 20,994)• LOS, mean/median – 4.5/3.0 – 4.0 days• Hospitals chrachterized by tertiles of pharmacologic prophylaxis rates: 85.8%,
72.6%, and 55.5%• No difference in hazards of VTE between hospitals

Betrixaban FDA approval:BEVYXXA is a factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor indicated for the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in adult patients hospitalized for an acute medical illness who are at risk for thromboembolic complications due to moderate or severe restricted mobility and other risk factors for VTE. (1)
The recommended dose of BEVYXXA is an initial single dose of 160 mg, followed by 80 mg once daily, taken at the same time each day with food.
The recommended duration of treatment is 35 to 42 days
Reduce dose for patients with severe renal impairment.Reduce dose for patients on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) inhibitors.
