Preventing Postpartum Venous Thromboembolism With Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin: The PP-HEP Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial.

Objective: Uncertainty surrounds the risk-benefit of low-molecular-weight heparin to prevent postpartum venous thromboembolism (VTE). Data from randomised clinical trials (RCT) are critically needed, but recent feasibility studies in North America yielded low participation rates, with <1 enrolment per month per centre. Our aim was to assess the feasibility of a trial of postpartum short-term enoxaparin in Europe.

Preferences of pregnant women for postpartum thromboprophylaxis: the bicentric PREFER-PostPartum study.

Background: Clinical guidelines for postpartum thromboprophylaxis differ due to its uncertain effect and varying preferences of experts. Women's preferences for postpartum thromboprophylaxis are unknown, although they may inform practices and future research.

Objectives: Our aim was to elicit the pregnant women's preferences for postpartum thromboprophylaxis according to different risks of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding.
