Extended thromboprophylaxis after hip fracture surgery: Real-world evidence of direct oral anticoagulants versus low molecular weight heparin of unfractionated heparin
In this real-world cohort, DOACs showed comparable effectiveness and safety to LMWH/UFH for extended prophylaxis after hip fracture surgery. These findings support DOACs as a potential alternative in this high-risk population, pending confirmation in prospective studies.
