Abstract

Guidelines for postpartum thromboprophylaxis are mostly expert based. Acceptable postpartum venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk thresholds to justify the use of thromboprophylaxis are ill defined. Objective: To compare the proportion of postpartum women with recommended thromboprophylaxis according to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), and American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) guidelines, and to estimate their threshold of risk of VTE.
