Ann Surg 2024; 279: 29-36.

Evidence from head to head meta-analysis and pooled trial arms shows no benefit from adding stockings to pharmacological thromboprophylaxis: risk ratio 0.85 per cent, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.54 to 1.36.

Comment: Additional stockings not needed if low molecular weight heparin used.
