Overview
In the United States, deep vein thrombosis DVT and pulmonary embolism PE costs are more than $9,800 and $14,000 for initial hospitalization respectively, and more than $11,800 and $14,700 for rehospitalization (over half of which occurs within 90 days), respectively.[1] Several studies have reported that prophylaxis therapy against VTE among surgical patients is cost effective.[2] According to the Canadian cost-effectiveness guidelines in the early 1990s, there is moderate to strong evidence to adopt enoxaparin prophylaxis against DVT after total hip replacement.[3]
