Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this pragmatic interventional study is to evaluate whether a protocol-based management of antithrombotic drugs can reduce a composite of perioperative outcomes in patients with chronic antithrombotic therapy before surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aging population and chronic medical disease make the management of surgical patients more complex. About one tenth of patients scheduled for surgery are taking antithrombotic medications. Coagulation disturbance induced by these medications may increase the risk of bleeding, whereas withholding these medications may increase the risk of thrombotic events. It is a dilemma when managing these patients.

The guidelines and expert consensus published by multiple disciplinary teams constitute the perioperative antithrombotic management protocols. However, the effects of perioperative antithrombotic management guided by these guidelines or expert consensus are seldom reported. The investigators hypothesize that a protocol-based perioperative antithrombotic management can benefit patients with chronic antithrombotic therapy before surgery.
