Abstract
Background: The three most commonly used low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWH) in Bosnia and Herzegovina for thromboprophylaxis in patients with hip fracture are reviparin, dalteparin and enoxaparin.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of reviparin, dalteparin and enoxaparin on intraoperative blood loss in patients with trochanteric fracture treated with intramedullary nailing.
Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 100 patients with trochanteric fracture who were divided into three groups according to the low-molecular-weight heparin administered. In all cases, a short third generation Gamma-nail was used for osteosynthesis. Complete blood count and number of red blood cell transfusions (RBC) were evaluated. Results: The mean value of postoperative hemoglobin level was lower in the enoxaparin group compared to the reviparin group, with significant difference (p=0.001; 95% CI: 4.1-18.87). Patients in the dalteparin group received more RBC transfusions compared to the reviparin and enoxaparin group (p=0.048).
Conclusion: The use of enoxaparin and dalteparin in hip fracture patients can result in lower postoperative haemoglobin levels and more RBC transfusions compared to reviparin.
