Why the study?
Does the Caprini risk assessment model effectively risk-stratify otolaryngology patients for 30-day VTE events?
Does the Caprini risk assessment model effectively risk-stratify otolaryngology patients for 30-day VTE events?
The Caprini risk assessment model is effective for stratifying 30-day VTE risk in otolaryngology patients.
Supports Caprini VTE risk stratification in otolaryngology; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
The Caprini risk assessment model effectively risk-stratifies otolaryngology patients for 30-day VTE events and allows otolaryngologists to identify patient subgroups who have a higher risk of VTE in the absence of chemoprophylaxis.
