Given that most trauma patients require an enoxaparin dose of at least 40\u00a0mg every 12\u00a0hours for VTE prophylaxis, we sought to identify which patients require enoxaparin 30\u00a0mg every 12\u00a0hours and hypothesized that both weight and low creatinine clearance (CrCl) would more likely determine enoxaparin dosing than age, body mass index (BMI), or body surface area (BSA). Single institution data were collected on trauma patients between August 2014 and February 2018 to compare trauma patients who required enoxaparin 30\u00a0mg to those who required \u226540\u00a0mg every 12\u00a0hours. Of the 245 patients included, 86 (35.1%) required enoxaparin at 30\u00a0mg to achieve the goal anti-factor Xa trough level. Factors associated with low dose enoxaparin were older age (59.6 vs. 46.2\u00a0years, P \u2264 .01) and lower CrCl (81.5\u00a0mL\/min vs. 93.7\u00a0mL\/min, P \u2264 .01). Weight, BSA, and BMI did not alter the dose of enoxaparin. A regression model determined that only CrCl predicted the need for low dose enoxaparin (adjusted odds ratio .982, 95% CI: .975-.990, P &lt; .01). Although an initial dose of enoxaparin 40\u00a0mg is appropriate for most trauma patients, patients with low CrCl should receive 30\u00a0mg. Increased age and low weight were not associated with the need for a lower enoxaparin dose.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0003134820964497","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]],"date-time":"2020-11-06T21:12:54Z","timestamp":1604697174000},"page":"1424-1427","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Which Trauma Patients Require Lower Enoxaparin Dosing for Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis?"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Jessica","family":"Veatch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yassar","family":"Hashim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Navpreet K.","family":"Dhillon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Toscano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Russell","family":"Mason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ting-Lung","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Galinos","family":"Barmparas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eric J.","family":"Ley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jss.2016.08.072"},{"key":"bibr2-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199412153312401"},{"key":"bibr3-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2016.1662"},{"key":"bibr4-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0000000000001193"},{"key":"bibr5-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.burns.2019.02.011"},{"key":"bibr6-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2019.11.012"},{"key":"bibr7-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068-019-01215-0"},{"key":"bibr8-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2009.12.017"},{"key":"bibr9-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s13613-017-0315-0"},{"key":"bibr10-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0000000000002024"},{"key":"bibr11-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1060028016683970"},{"key":"bibr12-0003134820964497","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2019.03.018"}],"container-title":["The American Surgeon\u2122"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003134820964497","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0003134820964497","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0003134820964497","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T12:34:51Z","timestamp":1777379691000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0003134820964497"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0003134820964497"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0003134820964497","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1348","1555-9823"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1348","type":"print"},{"value":"1555-9823","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,10]]}}}
