NCT ID NCT03634124
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test done before hip or knee replacement surgery can predict the risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a dangerous blood clot. Researchers measured thrombin generation in 146 patients. The goal was to see if the test could identify who is at higher risk, potentially leading to better prevention strategies.
