Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to validate a prognostic score that helps identify low-risk patients with acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) eligible for home treatment, emphasizing outpatient care over hospitalization for certain cases.
- - The score included six risk factors: heart failure, kidney failure, recent major bleeding, altered platelet count, immobilization, and cancer, with patients meeting zero criteria considered low risk.
- - Results showed that only a small percentage of low-risk patients experienced serious complications, suggesting that many patients with acute DVT can safely be treated at home, which could improve outpatient care efficiency.
