Low‐molecular‐weight heparin leads to lower symptomatic DVT compared with no thromboprophylaxis (high certainty).
The review found no eligible studies for this question.
Ultra‐low‐molecular‐weight heparin leads to lower symptomatic DVT compared with placebo (high certainty).
It is very uncertain whether low‐molecular‐weight heparin changes asymptomatic DVT: compared with no prophylaxis (very low certainty).
It is very uncertain whether unfractionated heparin changes DVT (symptomatic, asymptomatic, non‐fatal) (5 to 8 days after surgery) compared with low molecular weight heparin (very low certainty).
Low‐molecular‐weight heparin showed no clear difference in symptomatic DVT: assessed by presence of symptoms and confirmed by a… compared with no prophylaxis (low certainty).
NMES showed no clear difference in symptomatic DVT compared with low‐dose heparin (low certainty).
NMES showed no clear difference in asymptomatic DVT compared with low‐dose heparin (low certainty).
The review found no eligible studies for this question.
Heparin showed no clear difference in symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with placebo (high certainty).
DOAC probably leads to lower symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with placebo (moderate certainty).
Anticoagulants (chosen at investigators' discretion) showed no clear difference in symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with placebo (low certainty).
Vitamin K antagonists showed no clear difference in symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with heparin (low certainty).
DOAC showed no clear difference in symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with heparin (low certainty).
Vitamin K antagonists showed no clear difference in symptomatic VTE (DVT and PE) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with placebo (moderate certainty).
DOAC leads to lower symptomatic DVT (proximal or distal) Treatment duration 28 ‐ 42 days compared with placebo (high certainty).
