Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how effective and safe enoxaparin, a low molecular weight heparin, is in preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) after surgery.
- Out of 1928 surgical patients, those receiving enoxaparin had significantly lower rates of DVT (2.9% vs. 6.1%) and PE (0.3% vs. 1.4%) during hospitalization compared to the control group, and this trend continued during follow-up.
- The administration of enoxaparin was linked to slightly higher occurrences of minor and major bleeding compared to the control group, but the overall safety profile remained acceptable.*
