Fragility index for extended prophylaxis following abdominopelvic surgery: A methodological survey

BACKGROUND: Fragility Index (FI) is increasingly used to assess robustness of statistically significant p-values reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). FI represents the lowest number of non-events changed to events that would make study findings non-significant. This methodological survey was designed to assess the fragility of the evidence for extended VTEp following major abdominopelvic surgery. METHODS: MEDLINE, Embase, and …
