Abstract
In 2010, we proposed the first Korean Guidelines for the Prevention of Venous
Thromboembolism (VTE). It was applicable to Korean patients, by modifying the contents
of the second edition of the Japanese guidelines for the prevention of VTE and the 8th
edition of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) evidence-based clinical practice
guidelines. From 2007 to 2011, we conducted a nationwide study regarding the incidence
of VTE after major surgery using the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service
(HIRA) database. In addition, we have considered the 9th edition of the ACCP Evidenced-
Based Clinical Practice Guidelines, published in 2012. It emphasized the importance of
clinically relevant events as opposed to asymptomatic outcomes with preferences for both
thrombotic and bleeding outcomes. Thus, in the development of the new Korean
guidelines, three major points were addressed: 1) the new guidelines stratify patients into
4 risk groups (very low, low, moderate, and high) according to the actual incidence of
symptomatic VTE from the HIRA databases; 2) the recommended optimal VTE prophylaxis
for each group was modified according to condition-specific thrombotic and bleeding
risks; 3) guidelines are intended for general information only, are not medical advice, and
do not replace professional medical care and/or physician advice.
