Tessa Jaspers and Colleagues on Current Evidence Not Supporting Routine Anti-Xa Monitoring in Use of LMWH
Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH) shared on LinkedIn:
”A systematic review on anti-Xa monitoring in the therapeutic use of low-molecular-weight heparins
LMWHs are widely used in diverse patient groups (renal impairment, pregnancy, obesity), but the value of anti-Xa monitoring remains unclear.
This systematic review of 48 studies (RCTs and observational) found:
- Comparable bleeding and VTE rates in monitored vs. unmonitored patients.
- Frequent dose adjustments in monitored cohorts.
- Weak or absent correlation between anti-Xa levels and clinical outcomes.
Current evidence does not support routine anti-Xa monitoring for LMWH dose adjustment.”
