Meaning
hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism
Despite use of an accurate and validated prognostic model for HA-VTE, there was substantial reluctance by primary clinical teams to initiate thromboprophylaxis as recommended; in this context, HA-VTE rates between the control and intervention groups were not different.This randomized clinical trial evaluates whether the use of a previously validated prognostic model for hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) reduces pediatric inpatient rates of HA-VTE.
