No significant difference between Dabigatran etexilate and enoxaparin in VTE occurrence .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Dabigatran etexilate versus enoxaparin for prevention of venous thromboembolism after total hip replacement: a randomised, double-blind, non-inferiority trial
Lancet. 2007 Sep 15;370(9591):949-563494 patients undergoing total hip replacement were randomized to either receive 220mg of Dabigatran etexilate, 150mg of Dabigatran etexilate, or enoxaparin. The results following the treatment period (33 days) indicate that there were no significant differences between all three groups in terms of reducing the risk of major venous thromboembolism and all-cause mortality. In addition the safety outcomes were similar between the Dabigatran etexilate and enoxaparin treatment groups.
