Caprini Score (VTE Risk, 2005)
Calculate the 2005 Caprini Risk Assessment Model to stratify venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in surgical patients. ~40 items weighted 1/2/3/5 points: 1 point (age 41-60, minor surgery, BMI >25, swollen legs, varicose veins, pregnancy/postpartum, recurrent miscarriage, OCP/HRT, sepsis <1mo, lung disease/pneumonia <1mo, COPD, acute MI, CHF <1mo, bedridden, medical bed rest, IBD); 2 points (age 61-74, arthroscopic surgery, major open surgery >45min, laparoscopic >45min, malignancy, bed >72h, plaster cast, central line); 3 points (age ≥75, personal/family VTE history, factor V Leiden, prothrombin 20210A, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, homocysteine, HIT, other thrombophilia); 5 points (stroke <1mo, elective major lower-extremity arthroplasty, hip/pelvis/leg fracture <1mo, acute spinal cord injury <1mo, multiple trauma <1mo). Management tiers: 0 lowest, 1-4 low-moderate (mechanical), 5-6 high (consider LMWH 7-10d), 7-8 high (LMWH 7-10d), ≥9 highest (LMWH 30d). Derived from Caprini 2005. Not medical advice.
