Thrombosis

Danish study finds more elderly and patients with comorbidities being diagnosed.

This systematic review and network meta-analysis revealed that the use of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) may be more effective than unfractionated heparin (UFH) in reducing incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) among critically ill patients.

This review provides guidance for optimal Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis strategy and recommends including thrombosis- and bleeding-risk assessment in preoperative evaluation for all patients. It updates existing guideline recommendations based on recent studies across multiple surgical specialties.

Many associated factors are modifiable indicating potential benefit from planned strategies.
