Topics are nominated through a public process, which includes submissions from health care professionals, professional organizations, the private sector, policymakers, the public, and others. A systematic review of all relevant clinical studies is conducted by independent researchers, funded by AHRQ, to synthesize the evidence in a report summarizing what is known and not known about the select clinical issue. The research questions and the results of the report are subject to expert input, peer review, and public comment. The results of these reviews are summarized into Clinician and Consumer Research Summaries for use in decisionmaking and in discussions with patients. The research reviews and the full report are available at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/thrombo.cfm.

Major orthopedic surgery including total hip replacement (THR), total knee replacement (TKR), and hip fracture surgery carries a risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Without prophylaxis, historic data suggest deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs in 40–60 percent of cases in the 7–14 days following surgery. With routine use of thromboprophylaxis, symptomatic VTE in patients within 3 months of surgery is approximately 1.3–10 percent. Prophylactic strategies may decrease the risk of VTE, DVT, and pulmonary embolism. The main limitation of pharmacological VTE prophylaxis is the risk of bleeding, which historically occurs in 1–3 percent of THR and TKR surgeries.

The magnitude of benefit and harms in contemporary practice and evaluation of pharmacological agents or devices available within the United States amongst the orthopedic surgery population is not well known. Additionally, the influence of these factors in contemporary practice needs to be systematically evaluated: The impact of duration of prophylaxis on outcomes Whether dual prophylactic therapy is superior to single-modality therapy The comparative effectiveness of different pharmacological or mechanical modalities The risks of VTE, PE, and DVT and the causal link between DVT and PE.

Mechanical prophylaxis significantly decreased deep vein thrombosis (DVT; results from one randomized controlled trial; strength of evidence not rated). The risk for proximal or distal DVT was not significantly different (results from one randomized controlled trial; strength of evidence not rated). Data are not available to evaluate the comparative effect of mechanical prophylaxis versus no prophylaxis on other outcomes.

Patients who receive general anesthesia may have a higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) than those who receive regional anesthesia; however, there were no differences in proximal or symptomatic DVT. Strength of Evidence = Low No difference in risk of DVT or proximal DVT was found among patients receiving cemented versus noncemented arthroplasty. Strength of Evidence = Low Observational data suggest that patients with congestive heart failure were at an increased risk for symptomatic, objectively confirmed venous thromboembolism when compared with those without it.

The oral direct factor Xa inhibitor, rivaroxaban, was approved by the FDA for preventing DVT, which may be associated with PE, in patients undergoing THR or TKR surgery. This decision was based, in part, on the findings of four phase III trials known as the Regulation of Coagulation in Orthopedic Surgery to Prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism (RECORD) trials: RECORD 1, RECORD 2, RECORD 3, and RECORD 4. They compared various regimens of rivaroxaban and enoxaparin in THR or TKR surgery. The primary efficacy outcome was composite DVT, nonfatal PE, or all-cause mortality. The primary safety outcome was major bleeding. Summary of the RECORD Trials Sobieraj DM, Coleman CI, Tongbram V, et al. Comparative Effectiveness Review No. 49. Available at www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/thrombo.cfm.
Slide 26-

RECORD 1 and 2 trials (THR): There was reduced risk of the primary efficacy outcome with prolonged rivaroxaban (started 6–8 hours postoperatively, for 35 ± 4 days) when compared with enoxaparin given as either prolonged (started evening before surgery, for 36 ± 4 days) or standard-duration (started evening before surgery, for 13 ± 2 days) prophylaxis. RECORD 1: The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 1.1 percent of patients given rivaroxaban and 3.7 percent of patients given enoxaparin (ARR = 2.6%; 95% CI, 1.5 to 3.7; P < 0.001). RECORD 2: The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 2.0 percent of patients given rivaroxaban and 9.3 percent of patients given enoxaparin (ARR = 7.3%; 95% CI, 5.2 to 9.4; P < 0.0001). RECORD 3 and 4 trials (TKR): Rivaroxaban decreased the risk of the primary efficacy outcome when compared with enoxaparin. RECORD 3: The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 9.6 percent of patients given rivaroxaban and 18.9 percent of patients given enoxaparin (ARR = 9.2%; 95% CI, 5.9 to 12.4; P < 0.001). RECORD 4: The primary efficacy outcome occurred in 6.9 percent of patients given rivaroxaban and in 10.1 percent of patients given enoxaparin (ARR = 3.19%, 95% CI, 0.71 to 5.67; P = 0.0118). In all four trials, there were no significant differences in the risk for the primary safety outcome of major bleeding or for the risks of mortality or minor bleeding outcomes.

Estimated native (i.e., without pharmacological prophylaxis) incidence of DVT after THR and TKR surgery was 39 percent and 46 percent, respectively. Pharmacological prophylaxis decreases the risk of DVT with some increased risk of minor bleeding when compared with no pharmacological prophylaxis. LMWH may decrease the risk for DVT when compared with warfarin at the expense of increases in major and minor bleeding. LMWH provides greater protection against DVT and PE when compared with unfractionated heparin while reducing the risk of bleeding and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. LMWH was not as effective in protecting against the risk of DVT when compared with an injectable factor Xa inhibitor, although the odds of bleeding were reduced. Prolonged prophylaxis decreased the risk of thromboembolism at the risk of increased minor bleeding when compared with standard-duration prophylaxis.

Inadequate data did not permit conclusions about the comparative benefits and adverse effects associated with VTE prophylaxis in non–joint–replacement surgery. More information is needed on the following aspects of VTE prophylaxis in the setting of major orthopedic surgery: Clinically important outcomes including symptomatic venous thromboembolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, clinically relevant bleeding, prosthetic infection, reoperation, and mortality and whether intermediate outcomes predict health outcomes Surgical, postsurgical, or patient factors that predict outcomes The optimal followup period needed to determine longer term outcomes Optimal duration of thromboprophylaxis The role of combined pharmacological and mechanical prophylaxis Gaps in Knowledge Sobieraj DM, Coleman CI, Tongbram V, et al.
