Multicenter Study Observational Study
[Caprini score as individual risk assessment model of postoperative venous thromboembolism in patients with high surgical risk].
The aim of this study was to estimate the role of Caprini model in forecasting of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with high surgical risk and to determine patients with extremely high risk of venous thrombosis by using of this scale. It was performed prospective multicenter observational study involving 140 high risk patients who underwent large abdominal (48%) or neurosurgical (52%) intervention. All patients were assessed with the Caprini model and had a mean score of 9.5±2.7 (range: 5-15). ⋯ There is significant correlation between Caprini scores and frequency of postoperative venous thromboembolism in patients with high surgical risk. Score 11 and more can identify patients with extremely high risk. These patients need for more effective prevention.
