Key result
VTE risk assessment models for hospitalized medical patients face significant unresolved limitations and uncertainties.
Why the study?
Important uncertainties remain in thromboprophylaxis for hospitalized medical patients, particularly regarding limitations of available risk assessment models.

Limitations of RAMs add uncertainty to medical thromboprophylaxis decisions; leaves open need for refined, validated models.
We read with interest the recent review of Ferreira and colleagues describing imprecise and unclear areas in thromboprophylaxis for hospitalized medical patients [1]. However, we consider that there are other important uncertainties in this field, particularly in relation to limitations of available risk assessment models (RAMs).
