Differences in Venous Thromboembolism Prevention and Outcome between Hospitalized Patients with Solid and Hematologic Malignancies

“…The risk of VTE of all inpatients was automatically calculated by using an application of our electronic clinical history software following the PRETEMED score. 8 9 10 In this point scale, major risk factors such as active cancer, previous VTE, acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke with limb paralysis, decompensated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and thrombophilia were assigned a score of 3; congestive heart failure, chronic renal insufficiency/nephrotic syndrome, severe acute infection, lower limb cast, and prolonged bed rest were assigned a score of 2; and pregnancy/postpartum period, recent prolonged flight, lower limb paresis, estrogen therapy, thalidomide/lenalidomide administration, use of central vein catheter, obesity, age greater than 60 years, and smoking were assigned a score of 1. High risk of VTE was defined as a cumulative score of at least 4 points.…”
