Trial Outcomes & Findings for Prevention of Venous Thromboembolic Events After Elective Orthopaedic Surgery in Patients Treated With PRADAXA (NCT NCT01139658)

NCT ID: NCT01139658

Last Updated: 2014-01-16

Results Overview

Occurrence of symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) events in patients treated with Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) after orthopaedic surgery (either Total Hip Replacement (THR) or Total Knee Replacement surgery (TKR)). Symptomatic VTE events were defined as a confirmed proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a confirmed pulmonary embolism (PE).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 11 weeks

Population: Treated population included patients who took at least one dose of Pradaxa. One additional patient was excluded from the analysis as they were missing their date of first dose.

Occurrence of symptomatic venous thromboembolic (VTE) events in patients treated with Pradaxa (dabigatran etexilate) after orthopaedic surgery (either Total Hip Replacement (THR) or Total Knee Replacement surgery (TKR)). Symptomatic VTE events were defined as a confirmed proximal or distal deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or a confirmed pulmonary embolism (PE).
