Risk Factors
Question 7: What risk factors are associated with increased DVT/PE incidence in patients who receive at least one prophylaxis measure (eg, compression stockings, mechanical sequential compression devices, chemoprophylaxis medication) undergoing elective spine surgery not performed for tumor or trauma (cervical, thoracic or lumbar) compared to those who do not receive prophylaxis treatment?
A systematic review of the literature yielded no studies to adequately address this question.
Future Directions for Research

Question 8: What risk factors are associated with increased DVT/PE incidence in patients who receive at least one prophylaxis measure (eg, compression stockings, mechanical sequential compression devices, chemoprophylaxis medication) undergoing spinal surgery (cervical, thoracic or lumbar) for spine trauma (with spinal cord injury and without spinal cord injury) compared to those who do not receive prophylaxis treatment?
A systematic review of the literature yielded no studies to adequately address this question.
