尽管预防术后静脉血栓栓塞(venous thromboembolism,VTE)策略与措施日趋完善,但术后并发VTE仍是患者术后致残或死亡的重要原因。因此,在术前即应重视与关注如何控制或降低术后VTE的发生危险。不过较为遗憾的是,在当前的文献中很少有研究对此问题加以探讨,而关于患者术前使用糖皮质激素与术后VTE的发生是否有直接关联的研究则更未见报道。作者调用了由美国外科医师学会所承担的国家外科质量 Although prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) strategies and measures are becoming more and more perfect, postoperative VTE is still an important cause of postoperative disability or death. Therefore, we should pay attention to how to control or reduce the postoperative VTE risk before operation. However, it is a pity that few studies in the current literature have explored this issue. However, there is no report about whether there is a direct correlation between the preoperative use of glucocorticoids and postoperative VTE in patients. The author invoked the national surgical quality assumed by the American College of Surgeons
