[Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in Colombian surgical and medical patients: results for Colombia of the ENDORSE study].

Abstract

Participating Colombian centers treat patients at risk of venous thromboembolism similarly to other participant countries, but appropriate prophylaxis was prescribed more frequently to medical patients. Greater efforts are needed, both in Colombia and around the world, to improve rates of appropriate venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in at-risk subjects.
