HIT as a preventable disease?
Abstract
Martel and colleagues report their meta-analysis of thromboprophylaxis studies comparing the frequency of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) between patient groups receiving unfractionated heparin (UFH) or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). Their study supports the view that HIT is a preventable disease.
