    Summary

    Identifying risk factors for peripartum venous thromboembolism (VTE) is crucial. Adequate prophylaxis and risk assessment can significantly decrease VTE incidence in pregnant women, reducing morbidity and mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Hematology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality.
    • Risk assessment and prophylactic measures are essential for managing VTE in pregnant women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify risk factors for peripartum VTE.
    • To provide guidelines for VTE risk assessment, prophylaxis, diagnosis, and treatment in pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review using Medline and bibliographies of identified articles.
    • Analysis of evidence for thromboprophylaxis in pregnant and non-pregnant populations.

    Main Results:

    • Prophylaxis is recommended for high-risk individuals, including those with a history of VTE or thrombophilia.

  • Low-dose unfractionated heparin is effective in reducing VTE occurrence.
  • Anticoagulation for 3 months is recommended for VTE treatment during pregnancy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Early identification of risk factors and appropriate thromboprophylaxis can decrease VTE incidence.
    • Unfractionated heparin remains the standard treatment for VTE in pregnancy.
