PB1758 VTE Prophylaxis in Patients with Lower Limb Immobilisation

Lower limb immobilisation is a well-recognised risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Temporary immobilisation is estimated to contribute to 1.5–3% of all VTE events, with reported incidence in this patient group ranging widely. Despite this, guidance on outpatient VTE prevention remains limited, and variation in clinical practice persists.
