Modified Khorana Risk Score for Prediction of Venous Thromboembolic Events (VTE) in Patients with Cancer
Risk assessment tools can incorporate multiple variables to identify patients or subpopulations at risk for events. A recently developed risk score can identify cancer patients at high risk for VTE using a combination of easily available clinical and laboratory variables.
Wells Clinical Prediction Rule for Pulmonary Embolism and Deep Venous Thrombosis
The Wells Clinical Prediction Rule is a diagnostic tool used during review of systems to identify possible pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
