Abstract
This quality-improvement retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing major elective nononcologic gynecologic surgery compares the proportion of patients receiving appropriate perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) chemoprophylaxis before and after a novel integration of the Caprini risk-assessment model (RAM) into the electronic medical record (EMR). A sample size of 83 patients in each group (166 total) was calculated to provide 80% power and show a 20% increase in appropriate administration of VTE prophylaxis, with an alpha of 0.05. Heparin was appropriately used in 24 patients (28.9%) in the pre–Caprini-RAM group and 39 patients (47.0%) in the post–Caprini-RAM group ( P =.016). There were no differences in bleeding events, transfusions, or other secondary outcomes. Integrating the Caprini-RAM into an EMR for patients undergoing nononcologic gynecologic surgery significantly improved appropriate use of VTE chemoprophylaxis.
