520 _aBACKGROUND: There is a wide ranging incidence of venous thromboembolism after surgery and it continues to be a major cause of morbidity after spinal procedures. This study's aim was to investigate the relationship between timing and administration of venous thromboembolism (VTE) pharmacologic chemoprophylaxis after spinal surgery and the resulting VTE and bleeding complications by reviewing current practices and outcomes at a high-volume single institution to better define opportunities for perioperative intervention to prevent VTE without increasing bleeding complications.
520 _aCONCLUSION: Patients undergoing elective spinal surgery who received anticoagulation within 24h of the conclusion of their procedure had an 81% reduction in the odds of developing a deep vein thrombosis within 30 days with no significant difference in bleeding complications.
520 _aMETHODS: All patients who underwent elective one or two-stage lumbar spinal fusion procedures were identified. A logistic regression was used to evaluate (1) risk of symptomatic VTE within 30 days of surgery and (2) bleeding-related complications. The odds of developing a VTE as well as bleeding-related complications were compared among the three treatment groups: no chemoprophylaxis, chemoprophylaxis < 24h of surgery and chemoprophylaxis given > 24h post-surgery.
520 _aRESULTS: When adjusted for doses administered, the odds of developing a postoperative VTE within 30 days were 0.189 (95% confidence interval (0.044, 0.808)) in patients who received anticoagulation < 24h postoperatively, compared to those who received no anticoagulation (p = 0.025). There was no difference in bleeding rates.
