Precision medicine My colleagues and I created a point-based scoring model to help facil- ities determine which surgical patients are most at risk of developing DVT and exactly what in their medical history leads them to be partic- ularly vulnerable. The Caprini Risk Assessment (osmag.net/BYsW5g) includes 20 variables and is derived from a prospective study of 538 general surgery patients. The higher the Caprini score, the greater the risk of DVT. Ask patients to compute their Caprini score 1-2 weeks before their t e m o i B r e m m i Z e t s y y S p a r e h r T a l u c s a V m o r s f m e s i r i s o e r u d e c o r p ) T V D s ( i s o b m o r h t e h r T a l u c s a r V u O a t y S r e v o c e R y s S s e r P o s a V f d o o i r e d p e d n te x n e r a o e f l i b o m m t s y S ® s s e r P o s a s V ' t e m o i r B e m m i .
