Optimal strategies to screen health care workers for COVID-19 in the US: a cost-effectiveness analysis.

Background: Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in health care facilities poses a challenge against pandemic control. Health care workers (HCWs) have frequent and high-risk interactions with COVID-19 patients. We undertook a cost-effectiveness analysis to determine optimal testing strategies for screening HCWs to inform strategic decision-making in health care settings.

Should patients post-cardiac surgery be given low molecular weight heparin for deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis?

A best evidence topic in cardiac surgery was written according to a structured protocol. The question addressed was whether the use of prophylactic postoperative low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) or unfractionated heparin after cardiac surgery would significantly reduce morbidity by reducing the incidence of deep vein thromboses (DVTs) and pulmonary emboli (PEs). Altogether 390 papers were identified on Medline.
