Introduction
The IMPROVE [International Medical Prevention Registry on
Venous Thromboembolism] Predictive score was designed to assesses the risk of VTE in hospitalised medical patients.
The IMPROVE Predictive score for VTE includes 4 independent risk factors for VTE present at admission.
The IMPROVE Associative score includes 7 variables present either at admission or during hospitalization.
The IMPROVEDD score adds D-dimer as a recognized risk factor to the conventional IMPROVE associative score.
The IMPROVE Associative Score:
This predicts the VTE risk in medical patients during hospitalisation and includes 7 variables present either at admission or during hospitalisation.
