Q:4 according to RCOG guideline medical comorbidity is score 3 and should consider antenatal thromboprophylaxis from 28 weeks.

Q:7 why is the answer not e?

She has SLE so will need aspirin. and has nephrotic syndrome so gets a score of 3 which means consider thromboprophylaxis from 28 weeks? Please explain.
please explain Posted by Anuradha M.

Q:9 why is the answer not e? 

There seems to be  a pattern that I seem to be missing in these questions. Here Chronic HTN so need aspirin from 12 weeks and Hx of provoked DVT so considered LMWH form 28 weeks as score 3?

Kindly give your valuable explanation to the answers.

We seem to be really confused with the interpretation of new guidelines.

q10 Posted by UcasLucas L.
Dear paul, why do we start thromboprophylacis from 8wks? Appendix 3 states if vte score 3 consider prophylaxis from 28wks. If score of 4 or more then we start from 8wks. Why do westart from 8wks? I thought she only scored 3

SEE RCOG GUIDELINES / NOTES

 

Intermediate risk – consider antenatal prophylaxis with LMWH

  • Hospital admission
  • Single previous VTE related to major surgery
  • High-risk thrombophilia + no VTE (antithrombin deficiency, protein C or S deficiency, compound or homozygous for low-risk thrombophilia)
  • Medical comorbidities e.g. cancer, heart failure, active SLE, IBD or inflammatory polyarthro-pathy, nephrotic syndrome, type I DM with nephropathy, sickle cell disease, current IVDU
  • Any surgical procedure e.g. appendicectomy
  • OHSS (first trimester only)

IT DOES NOT SAY FROM 28 WEEKS.

 
Post surgery stratification Posted by fiona H.

Dear Paul,

I was hoping you could clarify.  The section 4.2.3 on stratification in women with previous DVT states that LMWH can be withheld till 28 weeks provided no additional risk factors are present. It is level D evidence but i wonder if this changes some of the answers?

Best wishes
