Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary goal of the current study is to investigate whether the combination of perioperative intermittent pneumatic compression and LMWH has a lower incidence of postoperative thrombo-embolic complications within a week after a high risk neurosurgical intervention in comparison to patients receiving merely LMWH prophylaxis. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary research questions are: • Is there a difference in number of patients with clinical symptoms of thromboembolus in patients receiving the combination of peroperative intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower limbs and LMWH in comparison to patients receiving merely LMWH prophylaxis in high risk neurosurgical patients, scored two months after surgery; • What is the prevalence of VTE in high risk neurosurgical patients in the LUMC receiving LMWH prophylaxis; • What are the risk factors for the prevalence of VTE in high risk neurosurgical patients in the LUMC; • What is the incidence of bleeding complications in high risk neurosurgical patients in the LUMC receiving LMWH prophylaxis; • Is there a difference in length of hospital stay in patients receiving the combination of peroperative intermittent pneumatic compression of the lower limbs and LMWH in comparison to patients receiving merely LMWH prophylaxis in high risk neurosurgical patients; • Is there a difference in patient perceived recovery at discharge and at 2 month follow up in patients receiving the combination of peroperative intermittent pneumatic compression and LMWH in comparison to patients receiving merely LMWH prophylaxis in high risk neurosurgical patients; • Is there a difference in Quality of life at discharge and at 2 month follow up in patients receiving the combination of peroperative intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs and LMWH in comparison to patients receiving merely LMWH prophylaxis in high-risk neurosurgical patients; • Is it relevant to consider cost-effectiveness of the use of peroperative intermittent pneumatic compression of the legs and if so, what is the cost-effectiveness? | — |
