However effective prophylaxis can result in reduced morbidity and hospital stay.
Shih, Y. A., Li, P. & Murphy, H. T. A small-Molecule-Inducible Nrf2-Mediated Antioxidant Response Provides Effective Prophylaxis against Cerebral Ischemia In Vivo.
EBV vaccination may in the future prove an effective prophylaxis against EBV-driven PTLD but until then, avoiding excessive immunosuppressive therapy may help minimise the risk of PTLD.
Recent evidence suggests that treatment with amiodarone may provide safe and effective prophylaxis against AF in many patients undergoing cardiac operations.
A fair question at this point is whether the design features themselves that are required to manufacture a low profile removable IVC filter can achieve effective prophylaxis against pulmonary embolism at a low rate of short and long-term complications.
The ENDORSE (Epidemiologic International Day for the Evaluation of Patients at Risk for Venous Thromboembolism in the Acute Hospital Care Setting) study is a multinational cross-sectional survey designed to assess the prevalence of VTE risk in the acute hospital care setting, and to determine the proportion of at-risk patients who receive effective prophylaxis.
Studies have shown that effective prophylaxis results in improved overall survival for patients following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
