Abstract

Abstract: Venous thromboembolism is a complex multifactorial disease considered the most common cause of preventable deaths in hospitalized patients. Recommendations about pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in adult hospitalized patients are available in clinical practice guidelines for optimization of healthcare delivery and improvement of patient outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines using ADAPTE to synthesize recommendations for pharmacological prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism in hospitalized medical patients at a medium complexity university hospital. Recommendations for pharmacological prophylaxis were extracted from seven clinical practice guidelines considered of high quality after assessment with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument. These recommendations will support discussion with specialists and implementation of practices in the setting of the hospital studied.

Resumo

Resumo: O tromboembolismo venoso é uma doença multifatorial complexa, considerada uma causa comum de óbitos evitáveis em pacientes hospitalizados. Recomendações sobre profilaxia farmacológica de tromboembolismo venoso em pacientes adultos hospitalizados estão disponíveis em diretrizes clínicas para otimizar os cuidados à saúde e contribuir com a melhora do desfecho do paciente. Dessa forma, foi conduzida uma revisão sistemática de diretrizes clínicas utilizando a metodologia ADAPTE para sintetizar as recomendações para profilaxia farmacológica de tromboembolismo venoso em pacientes clínicos adultos hospitalizados em um hospital universitário de média complexidade. As recomendações para profilaxia farmacológica foram extraídas de sete diretrizes clínicas consideradas de alta qualidade após avaliação pelo Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II). Essas recomendações servirão de apoio para discussão com especialistas e implementação de práticas dentro do contexto do hospital estudado.
