The Vienna Score
Introduction:
The Vienna Prediction Model is designed to estimate the risk of a recurrent VTE event after an unprovoked venous thromboembolism and was developed to identify individuals at low risk for VTE recurrence in whom anticoagulation therapy could be discontinued after 3 months.
The Revised Vienna Prediction model has replaced the original model - see References for additional information and the Links to access the Prediction model.
The Vienna Prediction model is summarised below:
