Low molecular weight heparin vs vitamin K antagonist secondary prophylaxis

All‐cause mortality (main analysis ‐ active cancer) · patients with cancer with venous thromboembolism

Low molecular weight heparin secondary prophylaxis showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality (main analysis ‐ active cancer) compared with vitamin K antagonist secondary prophylaxis (low certainty).

Direct thrombin inhibitors vs low molecular weight heparin

All‐cause Mortality events · patients with prevention of venous thromboembolism following total hip or knee replacement

Direct thrombin inhibitors probably leads to higher all‐cause Mortality events compared with low molecular weight heparins (moderate certainty).

Aspirin vs low molecular weight heparin

All‐cause mortality · ambulatory patients with multiple myeloma receiving immunomodulatory agents

It is very uncertain whether aspirin (ASA) changes all‐cause mortality compared with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (very low certainty).

Vitamin K antagonists vs low molecular weight heparin

All‐cause mortality · ambulatory patients with multiple myeloma receiving immunomodulatory agents

It is very uncertain whether vitamin K antagonist (VKA) changes all‐cause mortality compared with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) (very low certainty).
