Methods |
Open‐label, parallel‐assignment RCT |
Participants |
462 participants, ≥ 18 years, female and male Inclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria:
pregnancy
haemoglobin < 80 g/L in the last 72 h
platelet count < 50 x 109/L in the last 72 h
known fibrinogen < 1.5 g/L (if testing deemed clinically indicated by the treating physician prior to the initiation of anticoagulation)
known INR > 1.8 (if testing deemed clinically indicated by the treating physician prior to the initiation of anticoagulation)
patient already on intermediate dosing of LMWH that cannot be changed (determination of what constitutes an intermediate dose is to be at the discretion of the treating clinician taking the local institutional thromboprophylaxis protocol for high‐risk patients into consideration)
patient already on therapeutic anticoagulation at the time of screening (low‐ or high‐dose nomogram UFH, LMWH, warfarin, DOAC (any dose of dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban)
patient on dual antiplatelet therapy, when one of the agents cannot be stopped safely
known bleeding within the last 30 days requiring emergency room presentation or hospitalisation
known history of a bleeding disorder of an inherited or active acquired bleeding disorder
known history of HIT
known allergy to UFH or LMWH
admitted to the ICU at the time of screening
treated with non‐invasive positive pressure ventilation or invasive mechanical ventilation at the time of screening

Interventions |
Experimental: therapeutic anticoagulation
Therapeutic anticoagulation with enoxaparin 1 mg/kg twice daily will be administered until discharged from the hospital or after 7 days, whichever is longer, or death
If the patient is admitted to the ICU or requiring ventilatory support, we recommend the continuation of the allocated treatment as long as the treating physician is in agreement.
Comparator: standard care
Standard care will be administered until discharged from the hospital or after 7 days, whichever is longer, or death
-
If BMI < 40 kg/m², the treating physician may select one of the following options considered appropriate and available in Brazil
Enoxaparin 40 mg once daily, enoxaparin 60 mg once daily, UFH 5000 twice daily, UFH 5,000 three times/d
-
If BMI ≥ 40 kg/m², the treating physician may select one of the following options considered appropriate and available in Brazil:
