TI  - Can all patients with deep vein thrombosis receive low-molecular-weight heparin 
      in an outpatient setting?
PG  - 84-8
AB  - Studies have shown subcutaneous low- molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) to be at 
      least as safe and efficacious as intravenous unfractionated heparin (UFH) for the 
      treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Furthermore, unlike UFH, LMWH is 
      administered on a once- or twice-daily basis without monitoring in uncomplicated 
      cases. Consequently, it has been suggested that the large majority of patients 
      with VTE could be treated on an outpatient basis. Exceptions include patients 
      with an increased risk of haemorrhage, pregnant women, children and those with 
      renal insufficiency. Outpatient management would offer economic advantages and be 
      more convenient for both the patient and the hospital staff.
