Why the study?
Thrombosis is a major complication in blood-carrying medical devices and better understanding is needed to influence device design.
Effect estimate: R2>0.94
A novel, computationally efficient two-stage model accurately predicts regions prone to thrombus formation in rotary blood pumps, correlating well with clinical data.
