Severity of Illness Recommendation
Critically ill patients who do not have confirmed or suspected venous thromboembolism Use prophylactic-intensity over intermediate-intensity anticoagulation (low certainty of evidence)
Use prophylactic-intensity over therapeutic-intensity anticoagulation (conditional recommendation based on very low certainty in the evidence about effects)
Acutely ill patients who do not have confirmed or suspected venous thromboembolism or another indication for anticoagulation Use therapeutic-intensity over prophylactic-intensity anticoagulation (conditional recommendation based on very low certainty in the evidence about effects).
Use prophylactic-intensity over intermediate-intensity anticoagulation
Patients being discharged from hospital and do not have confirmed or suspected venous thromboembolism Use outpatient anticoagulant thromboprophylaxis (conditional recommendation based on very low certainty in the evidence about effects).
