BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that combined modalities (methods of treatment) are more effective than single modalities in preventing venous thrombo-embolism (defined as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, or both) in high-risk patients. OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy of intermittent pneumatic leg compression combined with pharmacological prophylaxis versus single modalities in preventing venous thrombo-embolism in high-risk patients. SEARCH STRATEGY: The Cochrane Peripheral Vascular Diseases (PVD) Group searched the reference lists of their Specialised Register (last searched 17 July 2007) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (last searched The Cochrane Library 2008, issue 3) for relevant articles to identify additional trials. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or controlled clinical trials (CCTs) of combined intermittent pneumatic leg compression and pharmacological interventions used to prevent venous thrombo-embolism in high-risk patients. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Data extraction was undertaken independently by two review authors using data extraction sheets.
