Abstract:Objective To discover the characteristics and rationality of anticoagulant drugs in prevention of venous thromboembolism ingynecological cancer patients Methods A retrospective analysis of 1,168 cases of gynecologic malignant tumor hospitalized from January 1st, 2016 to December 31st, 2016 was made with random sampling method. Results A total of 185 cases preventively used anticoagulant drugs, the total prevention rate was 15.84% (185/1,168). The rate of prophylactic anticoagulation in hospitalized patients with gynecological malignancies who had high risk of venous thromboembolism was relatively low, only 32.32%. Totally 193 medical records of anticoagulant drugs for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism were evaluated. The number of irrational drug use accounted for 69.43% (134/193), mainly for course of treatment was not appropriate. Conclusions The proportion of anticoagulant drugs used to prevent venous thromboembolism in patients with gynecologic malignancies is low, and there is unreasonable use in some cases. It should take some preventive anticoagulation measures positively for patients with gynecological malignancies who have high risk of venous thromboembolism.
