Summary

This study looked at insurance records from over 7,300 cancer patients who had a blood clot (VTE) and were treated with either apixaban or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). The goal was to compare total healthcare costs, including hospital stays, outpatient visits, and pharmacy bills. The study did not test new treatments but instead analyzed existing data to see which drug might be more cost-effective for this group.
