Abstract
Our findings demonstrate that the administration of VTE prophylaxis outside a small group of women at extremely high risk for VTE is rare during vaginal delivery hospitalization. Given that VTE incidence is rising in this population, further research to determine whether broadening prophylaxis for VTE may reduce severe maternal morbidity and death is indicated.
