Table 3 Hypothetical scenarios with variable baseline risks of recurrent VTE and estimates of LMWH effectiveness
Risk of recurrence | |||
|---|---|---|---|
Low risk | Medium risk | High risk | |
Without LMWH | 4 in 100 | 10 in 100 | 16 in 100 |
(96 in 100 will not) | (10 in 100 will not) | (84 in 100 will not) | |
With LMWH | 1 in 100 | 3 in 100 | 5 in 100 |
(99 in 100 will not) | (97 in 100 will not) | (95 in 100 will not) | |
