Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis
External validation of the Intermountain Risk Scores for postdischarge thrombosis and bleeding in an independent population
By Gergi M, Wilkinson KS, Roetker N and 3 others.
Abstract
Background
Extended thromboprophylaxis after medical hospitalization has not consistently shown benefit, largely due to increased bleeding events. Accurate prediction of postdischarge (PD) venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding risk is therefore essential. The Intermountain Risk Scores (IMRSs) were developed to predict 90-day risks of these outcomes following discharge.
