Abstract excerpt
The levels of anti-IIa and anti-Xa activity, as reported in laboratory and clinical studies on low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) preparations, show a high degree of variability. This variation has been proposed as correlated to the variation in incidence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (8-30%) in different LMWH studies on comparable populations undergoing elective hip surgery. The aim of this study...
