Validation of the Caprini Risk Assessment Model in Plastic and ReconStructive Surgery Patients

Validation of the Caprini risk assessment model in plastic and reconstructive surgery patients.

BACKGROUND The Venous Thromboembolism Prevention Study (VTEPS) Network is a consortium of 5 tertiary referral centers established to examine venous thromboembolism (VTE) in plastic surgery patients. We report our midterm analyses of the study's control group to evaluate the incidence of VTE in patients who receive no chemoprophylaxis, and validate the Caprini Risk Assessment Model (RAM) in plas...

Application of the Caprini risk assessment model in evaluation of non-venous thromboembolism complications in plastic and reconstructive surgery patients.

BACKGROUND The Caprini Risk Assessment Model is used to categorize patient risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) events; its predictive associations have been repeatedly corroborated. Calculating scores involves consideration of systemic factors that may predict other postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE This study investigates whether Caprini scores can be applied to non-VTE complications....
