1011 titles were identified on PubMed and Google Scholar published from the inception to February 5, 2017, of these 17 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis Conclusion: No published data were found that properly assessed the effect of NOAs administered in combination with anti TB antimicrobials. Further studies are needed to establish the safety of NOAs in this clinical scenario. In the meanwhile, a viable alternative to VKAs, in order to prevent complications of VTE related to TB, may be represented by Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH), notwithstanding the limitation of the parental route of administration.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
