METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF RISK OF DEVELOPING PULMONARY ARTERY THROMBOEMBOLIA IN PATIENTS WITH DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: medical history data are collected, including: immobilisation and surgical intervention for previous 4 weeks, pulmonary artery thromboembolia (PATE) and/or deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in past medical history. Each sign is assigned with certain score, summed up to calculate a risk of developing PATE. The derived total score is used to predict a low risk or a high risk of developing PATE in the patients with deep venous thrombosis.;EFFECT: method enables providing more accurate prediction of the risk of pulmonary artery thromboembolia in the patients with deep venous thrombosis by assessing the medical history data.;1 tbl, 2 ex
