Summary
This cohort study in JAMA Network Open aimed to determine the prognostic performance of the simplified Geneva score and other validated risk assessment models (RAMs) to predict venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical inpatients. The study provided a head-to-head comparison of validated RAMs among 1352 medical inpatients. It found that sensitivity of RAMs to predict 90-day VTE ranged from 39.3% to 82.1% and specificity of RAMs ranged from 34.3% to 70.4%. The authors concluded that the clinical usefulness of existing RAMs is questionable, highlighting the need for more accurate VTE prediction strategies.
