Brief Summary:
In individuals with obesity, the optimal dosing and duration of venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in settings representing acute medical illness or surgery is limited due to lack of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) focusing specifically on this population.Evidence suggests that in obese participants, both higher dosing and duration of VTE prophylaxis with Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH) may be required to achieve a therapeutic effect similar to non-obese participants.This non-interventional study…
