Abstract

Enoxaparin to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism in Older AdultsThis trial of thromboprophylaxis in medically ill, hospitalized older adults did not demonstrate that enoxaparin reduced the risk of symptomatic VTE after 1 month. Because the trial was prematurely discontinued, larger trials are needed to definitively address this question.
