Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in inflammatory bowel disease inpatients - Systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: In studies with lower-risk-of-bias, a significant reduction in VTEs was shown in patients treated with VTE prophylaxis (NNT=35), which should be carefully considered against an increased major-bleeding risk (NNH=114). However current data is limited and randomized trials dedicated to IBD inpatients would aid in understating whether universal prophylaxis should be recommended.PMID:38432204 | DOI:10.1159/000538086
