Retrospective comparison of low molecular weight heparin vs. warfarin vs. oral Xa inhibitors for the prevention of recurrent venous thromboembolism in oncology patients: The Re-CLOT study

摘要

Background There is increasing evidence indicating oral factor Xa inhibitors can be used for secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. Studies are needed to compare oral factor Xa inhibitors, low molecular weight heparins, and warfarin in the oncology population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the recurrent venous thromboembolism incidence in oncology patients utilizing oral Xa inhibitors, low molecular weight heparins, or warfarin.
