Padua Prediction Score for Risk of VTE

Description

Calculates the Padua Prediction Score to assess the risk of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized medical patients. The score stratifies patients into low or high risk categories to guide thromboprophylaxis decisions.

Usage

padua_vte_score(active_cancer, previous_vte, reduced_mobility,
                known_thrombophilia, recent_trauma_surgery, age,
                heart_respiratory_failure, acute_mi_stroke,
                infection_rheumatologic, bmi, hormonal_treatment)

Arguments

active_cancer	Numeric (0 or 1). Active cancer (metastases and/or chemo/radiation in last 6 months). (1 = Yes, +3 points).
previous_vte	Numeric (0 or 1). Previous VTE (excluding superficial vein thrombosis). (1 = Yes, +3 points).
reduced_mobility	Numeric (0 or 1). Reduced mobility (bedrest with bathroom privileges for >= 3 days). (1 = Yes, +3 points).
known_thrombophilia	Numeric (0 or 1). Known thrombophilic condition. (1 = Yes, +3 points).
recent_trauma_surgery	Numeric (0 or 1). Recent (<= 1 month) trauma or surgery. (1 = Yes, +2 points).
age	Numeric. Patient age in years. (>= 70 years adds 1 point).
heart_respiratory_failure	Numeric (0 or 1). Heart or respiratory failure. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
acute_mi_stroke	Numeric (0 or 1). Acute myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
infection_rheumatologic	Numeric (0 or 1). Acute infection or rheumatologic disorder. (1 = Yes, +1 point).
bmi	Numeric. Body Mass Index (kg/m^2). (>= 30 adds 1 point).
hormonal_treatment	Numeric (0 or 1). Ongoing hormonal treatment. (1 = Yes, +1 point).

Value

A list containing:

Padua_Score	The calculated total score (Range 0-20).
Risk_Category	Classification (Low Risk < 4, High Risk >= 4).
Recommendation	Clinical guidance regarding prophylaxis.
