Why the study?
Does VTE chemoprophylaxis prevent VTE safely in otolaryngology patients stratified by Caprini risk score?
Does VTE chemoprophylaxis prevent VTE safely in otolaryngology patients stratified by Caprini risk score?
The Caprini risk assessment model effectively stratifies otolaryngology patients for VTE risk, identifying high-risk subgroups that benefit from chemoprophylaxis despite bleeding risks.

May support targeted chemoprophylaxis in high Caprini risk free-flap cases; leaves open need for prospective validation.
