Management of Venous Thromboembolism
Amir Qaseem, MD, PhD, MHA, and
Vincenza Snow, MD
2 October 2007 | Volume 147 Issue 7 | Page 520
IN RESPONSE:
Our recommendations are based on evidence from randomized, controlled trials only. That is why the studies that were mentioned in the letters comparing the efficacy of LMWH and unfractionated heparin, as well as for safety of heparin and warfarin during pregnancy, were not mentioned in the guideline. However, LMWH is more cost-effective than unfractionated heparin. Although many studies have evaluated prophylactic use of LMWH in pregnant women, the evidence is scarce for treating deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in pregnant women.
Potential Financial Conflicts of Interest: None disclosed.
