Venous thromboembolism prophylaxis for women at risk during pregnancy and the early postnatal period

CONCLUSIONS: The evidence is very uncertain about benefits and harms of VTE thromboprophylaxis in women during pregnancy and the early postnatal period at increased risk of VTE. Further high-quality very large-scale randomised trials are needed to determine effects of currently used treatments in women with different VTE risk factors. As sufficiently large definitive trials are unlikely to be funded, secondary data analyses based on high-quality registry data are important.PMID:33779986 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD001689.pub4
