Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA)

All‐cause mortality (up to 3 months) · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

Low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality (up to 3 months) compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (low certainty).

Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA)

Symptomatic catheter‐related thrombosis (up to 3 months) · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

It is very uncertain whether low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) changes symptomatic catheter‐related thrombosis (up to 3 months) compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (very low certainty).

Symptomatic catheter‐related thrombosis measured as asymptomatic catheter‐related thrombosis (up to 3 months) · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

It is very uncertain whether low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) changes symptomatic catheter‐related thrombosis measured as asymptomatic… compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (very low certainty).

Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA)

Minor bleeding · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

It is very uncertain whether low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) changes minor bleeding (up to 3 months) compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (very low certainty).

Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist (VKA)

Thrombocytopenia (up to 3 months)n · people with cancer with thrombosis prophylaxis and central venous catheters

Low‐molecular‐weight heparin (LMWH) probably leads to higher thrombocytopenia (up to 3 months)n compared with vitamin K antagonist (VKA) (moderate certainty).
