Weight-based enoxaparin thromboprophylaxis in young trauma patients: analysis of the CLOTT-1 registry by Sarah Lombardo, Ram Nirula, Elliott R Haut, Scott Brakenridge, Brandon Bruns, Charles E Wade, M Margaret Knudson, Thomas Scalea, Todd W Costantini, Lisa Marie Knowlton, David Spain, Ernest E Moore, Michelle K McNutt, Matthew J Martin, Andrew J Kerwin, George C Velmahos, Bruce Crookes, Marta McCrum, Lucy Kornblith, Mark D Cipolle, Laszlo N Kiraly, David J Milia, Alicia Mohr, Frederick Rogers, Sherry Sixta, Jade Nunez

“…Early prophylaxis was associated with lower VTE rate (1.4% vs. 5.0%; p=0.001) and deep vein thrombosis (0.9% vs. 4.4%; p<0.001), but not pulmonary embolism (0.7% vs. 1.4%; p=0.259). After adjustment, VTE incidence did not differ by dosing strategy (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.75, 95% CI 0.38 to 1.48); however, early administration was associated with a significant reduction in VTE (aOR 0.47, 95% CI 0.30 to 0.74).Conclusion In young trauma patients, WB prophylaxis is not associated with reduced VTE rate when compared with SFD. …”
