| Core Tip |
The occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in our population-based cohort was about 5%, which highlights the importance of this complication among hospitalized ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. However, the risk of VTE was low (about 1%) among flaring ulcerative colitis patients who responded to medical management. In contrast, UC patients who underwent an elective (5%) or emergent colectomy (8.7%) had higher occurrence of VTE. After adjusting for covariates the leading risk factor for VTE was the need for colectomy. VTE occurred in colectomy patients despite > 90% postoperative VTE prophylaxis. Thus, heparin prophylaxis may not be sufficient to prevent VTE in patients undergoing colectomy. |
