Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date May 2001 Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis:major trauma: LMWH was more effective than heparin.

Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date May 2001 Deep vein thrombosis patients on LMWH could probably be sent home safely. Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date May 2001 DVT and pregnancy LMWH appeared safe and effective to prevent DVT in high risk patients. Level of evidence 4 Expiry Date April 2002 Deep vein thrombosis LMWH is safer than unfractionated heparin. Level of evidence 1a Expiry Date December 2001 Pulmonary embolism LMWH was probably as good as heparin. Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date Unknown Month 2001 Unstable angina LMWH reduced the number of episodes of recurrent angina and MI compared with unfractionated heparin. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2002 Unstable angina LMWH was better than heparin. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2002 Unstable angina LMWH reduced death and MI compared with placebo. Level of evidence 1b Expiry Date July 2002 Unstable angina enoxaparin was not clearly better than unfractionated heparin. Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date February 2001 Unstable angina enoxaparin is not clearly better than unfractionated heparin. Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date February 2001 Venous thromboembolism and warfarin contraindication fewer vertebral fractures on long term LMWH. Level of evidence 1b- Expiry Date May 2001 Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis heparin reduced VTE in non-surgical patients.
