Doctors test accuracy of common blood clot risk tool in hospitals

NCT ID NCT03784937

Summary

This study aimed to see how accurately a common risk prediction tool, called the Wells score, works for patients already in the hospital. Researchers wanted to know if the score is reliable when patients are on preventive blood-thinning medication and if different doctors calculate the score the same way. They enrolled 415 hospitalized adults who were suspected of having a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to test this.
