Venous Thromboembolism (DVT/PE)
Does my hospitalized patient need VTE prophylaxis?
Estimate inpatient VTE risk to guide prophylaxis decisions. Use Padua for general medical inpatients, IMPROVE or IMPROVEDD when estimating in-hospital and post-discharge risk (with IMPROVEDD incorporating D-dimer), and Geneva when seeking both risk estimation and prophylaxis guidance.
