Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients Treated with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin or Unfractionated Heparin

TL;DR: Daily platelet counts in 665 patients in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial comparing unfractionated heparin with low-molecular-weight hepar in as prophylaxis after hip surgery revealed heparIn-induced thrombocytopenia, associated thromBotic events, and heParin-dependent IgG antibodies are more common in patients treated with unfractionate heparine than in those treated with low,molecules-weight He

A 14-year study of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia

TL;DR: VenousThrombosis complicates heparin-induced thrombocytopenia more frequently than does arterial thromBosis, and the high risk of thROMbosis in patients initially recognized with isolated throma suggests that conventional management approaches require reappraisal.

Temporal aspects of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia.

TL;DR: A fall in the platelet count beginning four or more days after the start of heparin therapy occurred in 170 of the 243 patients (70 percent); in these patients, a history of previousHeparin treatment did not influence the timing of the onset of thrombocytope...

Fondaparinux vs enoxaparin for the prevention of venous thromboembolism in major orthopedic surgery: a meta-analysis of 4 randomized double-blind studies.

TL;DR: In patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, 2.5 mg of fondaparinux sodium once daily, starting 6 hours postoperatively, showed a major benefit over enoxaparin, achieving an overall risk reduction of VTE greater than 50% without increasing the risk of clinically relevant bleeding.
