The estimated annual incidence of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), known collectively as venous thromboembolism (VTE), ranges from 350,000 to 600,000 (Maynard, 2016). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2020 statistics, 1-2 per 1,000 adults in the United States are clinically diagnosed with VTE each year. Increased incidence is reported in the elderly (1 per 100) compared to young adults (1 per 10,000) (Henke et al., 2020). VTE is a known complication of hospitalization, frequently extending the length of stay and increasing hospital mortality (Maynard, 2016). Approximately 20% of VTE are associated with a surgical procedure (Henke et al., 2020). Hospitalized patients at high-risk for VTE may develop an asymptomatic DVT, and die from PE even before the diagnosis is suspected. The majority of fatal events occur as sudden or abrupt death, underscoring the importance of prevention as the most critical action step for reducing death from PE (Geerts et al., 2008). American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2018 VTE prophylaxis guidelines strongly recommend pharmacological prophylaxis using unfractionated heparin (UFH), low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or fondaparinux for acutely and critically ill hospitalized medical patients, unless contraindicated. The use of mechanical prophylaxis is an acceptable alternative for patients with increased risk of bleeding and preferred over no prophylaxis. ASH 2019 guidelines for surgical patients similarly recommend pharmacological or mechanical prophylaxis over no VTE prophylaxis. (NOTE: Some select surgeries have previously been monitored in the Surgical Care Improvement Project; since performance on these surgeries has achieved very high levels, they are not included in this measure.) Despite its proven effectiveness, VTE prophylaxis remains underused or inappropriately used in both medical and surgical patients (Kahn et al., 2018). The ENDORSE study evaluated prophylaxis rates in 17,084 major surgery patients and found that more than one third of patients at risk for VTE (38%) did not receive prophylaxis with various rates reported for different types of surgery (Cohen et al., 2008). More recently, a systemic review of multiple randomized controlled trials found that system-wide interventions, such as computer alerts to physicians and other healthcare professionals, increased the use of appropriate VTE prophylaxis while reducing the number of symptomatic VTE at three months (Kahn et al., 2018). |

Clinical Recommendation Statement | *See CMS108v10.html | *See CMS108v11.html |
Failure to recognize and protect patients at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) increases the chances for acutely ill hospitalized patients at high risk for developing a deep vein thrombosis or dying from a pulmonary embolism. Screening all patients is the only evidence based practice in reducing incidence of disease. All hospitalized patients should be evaluated for primary VTE prophylaxis, and given appropriate prophylaxis when indicated. |

Guidance |
When low dose unfractionated heparin is administered for VTE Prophylaxis, the intended administration route for low dose unfractionated heparin is subcutaneous. Reasons for no pharmacological and no mechanical VTE prophylaxis must be explicitly documented by the MD/APN/PA or pharmacist and linked with VTE prophylaxis. Ambulation alone is not a sufficient reason for not administering VTE prophylaxis. In order for ambulation/patient ambulating to be considered as an acceptable reason, there needs to be explicit documentation, e.g., "patient out of bed and ambulating in halls - no VTE prophylaxis needed." This eCQM is an episode-based measure. An episode is defined as each inpatient hospitalization or encounter that ends during the measurement period. This version of the eCQM uses QDM version 5.5. Please refer to the eCQI resource center for more information on the QDM. |
