Should patients seen in #SDEC #AmbulatoryCare receive #VTE prophylaxis?
Our data #WarwickMedSchool @susie-shapiro.bsky.social show VTE rate in SDEC as high as hospitalised patients.
Ability to ambulate does NOT equal reduced VTE risk.

This is a valuable initiative. But I can’t help but feel sad that the reason bypass units like these are necessary is in part because we as a wider institution have failed these patients time and time again. Many reasons for this but institutional racism being one.

Interesting article in AHA Stroke Journal about over-prescription of statins in stroke patients.
No clear evidence of benefit in absence of atherosclerotic disease, and potential to harm.
A reminder that it's important to personalise not protocolise treatment.
