TL;DR: In the GRADE approach, randomized trials start as high-quality evidence and observational studies as low- quality evidence, but both can be rated down if most of the relevant evidence comes from studies that suffer from a high risk of bias.

Mutation in blood coagulation factor V associated with resistance to activated protein C
Rogier M. Bertina,Bobby P. C. Koeleman,Ted Koster,Frits R. Rosendaal,Richard J. Dirven,Hans De Ronde,Pieter A. van der Velden,Pieter H. Reitsma +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the phenotype of APC resistance is associated with hetero-zygosity or homozygosity for a single point mutation in the factor V gene which predicts the synthesis of a factor V molecule that is not properly inactivated by APC.

TL;DR: There was no appreciable evidence that either a higher aspirin dose or any other antiplatelet regimen was more effective than medium dose aspirin in preventing vascular events, so in each of the four main high risk categories overall mortality was significantly reduced.

TL;DR: Extrapolation of the data from this population-based study suggests that there are approximately 170,000 new cases of clinically recognized venous thromboembolism in patients treated in short-stay hospitals in the United States each year, and 99,000 hospitalizations for recurrent disease.

Antithrombotic therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.
TL;DR: It is shown that patients with symptomatic proximal DVT may benefit from fitted compression stockings for at least 3 months to reduce the incidence of the postthrombotic syndrome, and patients with VTE who receive adequate anticoagulation generally do not die of recurrent disease.
