Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of symptomatic thromboembolic events [90 days]
Efficacy of prophylaxis will be reported as the number of reported incidence of symptomatic Pulmonary Embolism (PE) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of specific adverse events [90 days]
Efficacy of prophylaxis will be reported as the number of reported incidence of specific adverse events including gastrointestinal (GI) complications, post-operative hematoma, bleeding and wound complications and infections.
