Adherence to apixaban for extended thromboprophylaxis after major abdominal or pelvic surgery for cancer: A prospective cohort study
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Due to lack of data, direct oral anticoagulants are not considered by guidelines for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis after cancer surgery. Adherence to low-molecular-weight heparin injections in this setting is sometimes poor.
AIM: Analysis of adherence to oral apixaban for extended thromboprophylaxis.
