Perioperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis

Dynamed is a clinical reference tool With clinically-organized summaries for nearly 3,000 topics.DynaMed is updated daily and monitors the content of over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases directly and indirectly by using many journal review services. Each publication is reviewed cover-to-cover, and each article is evaluated for clinical relevance and scientific validity. The new evidence is then integrated with existing content, and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate representing a synthesis of the best available evidence.

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Includes the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, the Cochrane Central Register, the Cochrane Methodology Register, Health Technology Assessment Database, and the NHS Economic Evaluation Database
