Welcome to DVT – India!
|
|
|
|
The risk of venous thromboembolism(VTE) subsequent to surgical interventions is
well recognized and thromboprophylaxis is routinely recommended in these scenarios.
In the West, abundant clinical evidence is available on the management of DVT through
multiple randomized clinical trials and registries. On the contrary, there is currently
very limited information on how patients with VTE are diagnosed and managed in India
and what outcomes they have.
|
|
|
|
We are therefore proposing the creation of a nationwide registry with the following
objectives in mind – |
|
|
Collect prospective data on the epidemiologic characteristics, management, and outcomes
of patients with acute symptomatic VTE that can be
used to:
|
|
|
|
(1) Obtain a realistic profile and overview of patients with VTE and data on existing
and evolving patterns in clinical practice in the management of patients with this
disorder; |
|
(2) Identify gaps between recommendations /guidelines and real day-to-day practice;
|
|
(3) Locally assess individual hospital practice and outcomes to facilitate quality
improvement; and
|
|
(4) Create predictive models to assist surgeons in making decisions in difficult
cases. |
|
|
|
We would like your complete support in this first-of-its-kind initiative so we may
all power the patients’ management with up to date, authentic and most notably our
Indian data.
|
|
|
|
We look forward to your positive response and full-fledged participation in making
this registry a success! |
