Description
Seven authors weigh blood thinning drugs around elective spine surgery in this 2023 study. Many spine patients take such drugs for other conditions, and surgeons must balance clot risk against bleeding risk when the drugs are continued or stopped.
Using an all-payer claims database covering 2010 to 2018, the team found over 660,000 eligible patients. They built a one-to-one matched comparison between users and non-users of the drugs, matching on the health factors tied to bleeding or clots. Outcomes were clot events and bleeding problems within ninety days of surgery. Matched claims designs like this one give a population level view that single hospital series cannot.
