Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) guidelines significantly lower postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) rates across various surgical specialties. Among 8,118 patients, those adhering to higher ERAS compliance scored a 23% reduced incidence of VTE. Notably, 11% of patients with VTE had low compliance compared to only 5.6% without VTE, indicating a strong trend. Logistic regression confirmed that ERAS compliance and ASA class were crucial predictive factors, underscoring the need for enhanced adherence to minimize VTE risks.
