  Figure 1.. Flow diagrams of study population. Flow diagrams of cardiology (left) and gastroenterology (right) patients. Patients were included and excluded according to predefined criteria. All included patients were stratified according to their Padua Prediction Score (PPS) and IMPROVE Score. PE indicates pulmonary embolism; HIT, heparin induced thrombocytopenia; LMWH, low molecular-weight heparin.

• 

  Figure 2.. Received VTE prophylaxis based on PPS or IMPROVE Score. Patients were stratified by their risk for VTE based on their PPS or IMPROVE Score (x-achis) and compared to the percentage of patients receiving VTE prophylaxis (y-achis). The score value as well as the number of patients in each group are shown. A, Cardiology patients stratified by PPS, (B) cardiology patients stratified by IMPROVE Score, (C) gastroenterology patients stratified by PPS and (D) gastroenterology patients stratified IMPROVE Score. PPS indicates Padua Prediction Score; SD, standard deviation.

  Figure 3.. Padua and IMPROVE risk category and VTE prophylaxis. Patients were categorized in low, medium and high risk for VTE based on their Padua Prediction Score (PPS) or IMPROVE Score, y-achis displays the percentage of received VTE prophylaxis. The score range of each category is shown below the graphs as well as the number of patients in each group. Cardiology (gray bars) and gastroenterology (white bars) patients classified by PPS are shown in (A) and by IMPROVE Score in (B).

  Figure 4.. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of the interrelation between VTE-Score and likelihood of receiving VTE-prophylaxis. Logistic regression was performed after stratifying patients by their PPS or IMPROVE score and the likelihood of receiving VTE-Prophylaxis. PPS indicates Padua Prediction Score; AUC, area under the curve; CI, 95% confidence interval.

  Figure 5.. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves of the interrelation between duration of hospital stay and likelihood of receiving VTE-prophylaxis. Logistic regression was performed between the duration of hospital stay and the likelihood of receiving VTE-prophylaxis for a cardiology patients and b gastroenterology patients. Abbreviations: AUC, area under the curve; CI, 95% confidence interval.
