Abstract
The pilot study indicated that the full study was not feasible. The decision to use prophylaxis pertains to only a small proportion of general medical patients hospitalized at VA medical centers, and this proportion is overestimated by chart review. The effect of low-dose heparin prophylaxis on clinical outcomes in hospitalized general medical patients remains uncertain.
