Abstract
Long-term risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) following total hip or knee replacement (THR/TKR) compared with controls has not been studied extensively, and the long-term influence of outpatient anticoagulant use on VTE risk remains unknown. The objectives were to evaluate long-term VTE risk following THR/TKR compared with matched controls, and to investigate effect modification by prolonged outpatient vitamin K antagonist use.
