Archives of Internal Medicine · 2002 · 119 citations · 15 references
A significantly higher benefit-risk ratio was observed for patients undergoing elective hip replacement who received extended out-of-hospital prophylaxis with low-molecular-weight heparin vs acenocoumarol. Low-molecular-weight heparin prophylaxis was at least as effective as oral anticoagulants, but with a marked improvement in safety.
