Why the study?
Appropriate treatment options depend on precise completion of the Caprini RAM, requiring consistent and accurate scoring across a patient's surgical course.
The 2013 Caprini scoring system provides a consistent method for VTE risk stratification and prophylaxis selection.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May improve Caprini RAM consistency in perioperative practice; leaves open prospective validation of scoring impact on VTE outcomes.
Cronin et al. (2019) studied this question.
