Padua Prediction Score predicts risk of venous thromboembolism in acutely ill hospitalized medical patients (including those with cirrhosis)26
| Risk factor | Score |
|---|---|
| Active cancer ≤180 days | 3 |
| Previous VTE (excluding superficial thrombosis) | 3 |
| Reduced mobility | 3 |
| Inherited or acquired thrombophilic condition | 3 |
| Trauma/surgery ≤30 days | 2 |
| Age ≥70 years | 1 |
| CHF and/or respiratory failure | 1 |
| Acute MI or ischemic CVA | 1 |
| Acute infection and/or rheumatologic condition | 1 |
| Obesity (BMI >30 kg/m2) | 1 |
| Hormonal treatment | 1 |
A score ≥4 indicates increased risk of VTE
