May support danaparoid for DVT prophylaxis after hip fracture; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does danaparoid prophylaxis reduce the incidence of postoperative thrombosis in patients undergoing hip fracture surgery compared to dextran or warfarin?
Danaparoid prophylaxis is more effective than dextran or warfarin for preventing deep vein thrombosis after hip fracture surgery without increasing bleeding risk.
David Bergqvist (2009) conducted a review in hip fracture surgery. Orgaran vs. dextran or warfarin was evaluated on deep vein thrombosis. Orgaran prophylaxis was significantly more effective than dextran or warfarin in reducing the frequency of deep vein thrombosis after hip fracture surgery without increasing bleeding complications.
