Implication

Retrospective analysis finds DVT prophylaxis deficiencies correlate with increased mortality in cosmetic surgeries, suggesting improvements are needed.

Key Points

DVT/PE rates peaked alongside deficiencies in prophylaxis, indicating an urgent need for standardized guidelines.
Among 3,338,519 surgeries, 247 DVT/PE events were recorded, highlighting significant risks associated with outpatient procedures.
Using the Patient Safety Data Reporting database, we analyzed data from 2019-2023 across QUAD A facilities for mortality and complications.
Findings suggest liposuction may be linked to higher complication rates, underscoring the importance of preoperative evaluation.
