Simple blood test could warn of deadly clots after joint surgery
NCT ID NCT03634124
Summary
This study aimed to see if a blood test taken before hip or knee replacement surgery could predict which patients are at high risk for developing dangerous blood clots in their legs or lungs after the operation. Researchers tested 146 adult patients undergoing these surgeries. They compared results from a special blood clotting test done with and without an added substance to see if the ratio could forecast clot risk.
