Unfractionated heparin vs low molecular weight heparin

DVT (symptomatic, asymptomatic, non‐fatal) · people undergoing major amputation of the lower extremity

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).

Direct thrombin inhibitors vs low molecular weight heparin

Major VTE events bilateral ascending venography1 · patients with prevention of venous thromboembolism following total hip or knee replacement

Direct thrombin inhibitors showed no clear difference in major VTE events bilateral ascending venography1 compared with low molecular weight heparins (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).

Direct thrombin inhibitors vs low molecular weight heparin

ALT >3 times the upper normal limit · patients with prevention of venous thromboembolism following total hip or knee replacement

Direct thrombin inhibitors may leads to lower ALT >3 times the upper normal limit compared with low molecular weight heparins (low certainty).
