Can a preoperative formula predict the risk of postoperative thromboembolic disease in surgical patients?
A preoperative risk prediction formula based on clinical factors may help identify surgical patients at high risk for postoperative thromboembolic complications.
James C. Breneman (1965) conducted a case-control in Postoperative thromboembolic disease. Clinical risk factors (age, weight, immobilization, anesthesia, clotting factors, previous operations) vs. Surgical patients without thromboembolic complications was evaluated on Postoperative thromboembolic disease. A preoperative formula based on clinical factors was developed to predict the risk of postoperative thromboembolic disease by comparing surgical patients with and without the complication.
