Description
Santiago Grillo Pérez, Paula Ruiz-Talero, and Oscar Muñoz Velandia study why blood clot prevention sometimes fails in hospital patients, in a 2023 paper. Preventive blood thinners are standard care, yet some patients still develop dangerous clots in veins or lungs. Knowing who remains at risk could sharpen prevention.
The team compared 204 patients whose prevention failed with 408 whose did not, drawn from one hospital's records. Most patients were medical rather than surgical cases, and the standard drug was enoxaparin. In the failed group, lung clots were the most common event. Higher body weight, active cancer, high white cell counts, and intensive care stays all clustered in the failed group. Cancer and weight held up as independent factors in the final model.
