Summary

This study looked at medical costs for cancer patients who had a blood clot (VTE) and were treated with either apixaban or low molecular weight heparin. Researchers analyzed insurance claims from over 7,300 patients to compare total healthcare costs, including hospital stays and pharmacy bills. The goal was to see which treatment might be more affordable for patients and the healthcare system.
