| Description | Summary: The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of once-daily subcutaneous injection of dalteparin, a low molecular weight heparin, with that of intravenous unfractionated heparin in the treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Patients were included if they had deep venous thrombosis distal to inguinal ligament and were randomised either before, if it was considered necessary, or after phlebographic verification of the diagnosis. There was no pre-inclusion treatment with unfractionated heparin. One hundred and twenty patients received dalteparin, administered subcutaneously once-daily at a fixed dose of 200 IU anti-factor Xa/kg, and 133 patients received a continuous intravenous infusion of unfractionated heparin (UFH). Oral anticoagulation was started on the first or second day, and initial treatment with dalteparin or UFH discontinued when the prothrombin time was in the therapeutic range (2 |
