Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The activation of multiple pathways of venous thrombosis occurs after an injury. A prophylaxis protocol is necessary to prevent early and late venous thrombotic complications. Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of venous thromboembolism using the Greenfield risk assessment profile score and its association with bleeding complications. This was a retrospective cohort study conducted on trauma cases who were aged 15 years or older. The study was conducted from January 2020 through December 2022. Patients who were admitted to hospital for less than 24 h or those who died during resuscitation or treatment in an emergency room were excluded from this study. Results: We enrolled 580 cases. Among them, 46.6% were categorized as high-risk for developing venous thromboembolism, and 30.4% of these high-risk patients received pharmaco-mechanical thromboprophylaxis. All VTE cases were high risk according to the Greenfield risk assessment profile, accounting for 3% of the entire group and 1.4% of all enrolled cases. All major bleeding complications occurred with a previously diagnosed large subdural hematoma. Conclusions: Assessing VTE risk was crucial for optimal management of prophylaxis. Proper use of pharmacological prophylaxis had to be balanced against the risk of bleeding complications. Full article
