Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on venous thromboembolic (VTE) and bleeding events in Asian patients after major surgery for upper gastrointestinal malignancies.
- It included data from 399 patients over a decade in Singapore, finding that while LMWH did not significantly reduce VTE incidents, it was linked to a higher rate of postoperative bleeding.
- The conclusion suggests that routine use of LMWH is not recommended for Asian patients undergoing these surgical procedures due to the increased risk of bleeding without substantial benefits in VTE prevention.
