Abstract
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Canada. Expanding candidacy for VTE prophylaxis (VTEp) in the peripartum period has been associated with decreased maternal mortality, however there are inconsistencies in society recommendations for postpartum thromboprophylaxis and literature shows poor adherence to guidelines. This brief communication examines VTE prophylaxis prescribing in post-caesarean delivery (CD) patients at a tertiary hospital in Toronto, Ontario, and highlights high variance in risk stratification from national regulatory organizations. Ultimately, future work should be done to improve appropriate thromboprophylaxis prescribing practices to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes related to thromboembolism.
