Abstract | PURPOSE: MATERIALS AND METHODS: In January 2013 thromboprophylaxis was modified for patients undergoing radical cystectomy by replacing a regimen of subcutaneous heparin before induction and then every 8 hours until discharge home with enoxaparin daily for postoperative prophylaxis continued until 28 days after discharge. Data from our institutional radical cystectomy database for patients undergoing surgery from January 2011 to May 2014 were reviewed. The primary outcome was clinically symptomatic postoperative venous thromboembolism. Secondary outcomes included timing of venous thromboembolism and blood transfusions. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for differences between cohorts. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
