Subcutaneous unfractionated heparin vs low molecular weight heparin

All‐cause mortality (7 days ‐ 3 months) · people aged ≥ 18 years with a diagnosis of new or recurrent VTE

Subcutaneous unfractionated heparin showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality (7 days ‐ 3 months) compared with low molecular weight heparin (low certainty).

Subcutaneous unfractionated heparin vs unfractionated heparin

All‐cause mortality (5 days to 12 months) · people aged ≥ 18 years with a diagnosis of new or recurrent VTE

Subcutaneous unfractionated heparin showed no clear difference in all‐cause mortality (5 days to 12 months) compared with intravenous unfractionated heparin (low certainty).

Ultrasound‐assisted catheter‐directed thrombolysis plus standard intravenous heparinisation vs standard intravenous heparinisation

All‐cause mortality (90‐day) · people with intermediate‐risk (submassive) APE

It is very uncertain whether ultrasound‐assisted catheter‐directed thrombolysis plus standard… changes all‐cause mortality (90‐day) compared with standard intravenous heparinisation (very 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).

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

Direct thrombin inhibitors showed no clear difference in all‐cause Mortality events in TKR combined doses compared with vitamin K antagonists (low certainty).
