Background: A variety of risk prediction scores have been devised to identify patients at increased risk for VTE in different patient populations and settings. Guideline recommendations for VTE risk assessment vary greatly. We performed a systematic review to identify and synthesize evidence on clinical risk prediction scores for VTE in medical and surgical hospitalized patients. […]

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and are a major cause of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, mechanisms to identify patients at greatest risk of PICC-associated VTE are limited. Methods: Using data from the Michigan Hospital Medicine Safety consortium, patients with PICCs that experienced symptomatic, image-confirmed […]

Background: Compared with patients in the community, patients acutely hospitalized are at higher risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE), contributing to patient morbidity and mortality and healthcare costs. The need for thromboprophylaxis for post-surgical patients is well-known and the importance of thromboprophylaxis for acutely-ill hospitalized medicine patients has been increasingly accepted. We aimed to analyze […]
