Abstract
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is an insidious disease with significant morbidity and mortality. However, the possible risk factors for VTE in the Chinese thoracic surgical population are largely unknown. Moreover, there is still no reasonable VTE risk assessment model (RAM) or individual prophylaxis strategy for Chinese thoracic surgical patients. Therefore, in this study, we applied several models to determine the possible risk factors for VTE in the Chinese thoracic surgical population. Subsequently, we tried to define risk stratification scores and develop a VTE RAM applicable to Chinese thoracic surgical patients. Finally, we established an individual prophylaxis strategy and reasonable VTE prophylaxis protocol.
