| 5 points | 3 points | 2 points | 1 point |
| ❑ Stroke (in the previous month) ❑ Fracture of the hip, pelvis, or leg ❑ Elective arthroplasty ❑ Acute spinal cord injury (in the previous month) |
❑ Age≥ 75 years ❑ Prior episodes of VTE ❑ Positive family history for VTE ❑ Prothrombin 20210 A ❑ Factor V Leiden ❑ Lupus anticoagulants ❑ Anticardiolipin antibodies ❑ High homocysteine in the blood ❑ Heparin induced thrombocytopenia ❑ Other congenital or acquired thrombophilia |
❑ Age: 61-74 years ❑ Arthroscopic surgery ❑ Laparoscopy lasting more than 45 minutes ❑ General surgery lasting more than 45 minutes ❑ Cancer ❑ Plaster cast ❑ Bed bound for more than 72 hours ❑ Central venous access |
❑ Age 41-60 years ❑ BMI > 25 Kg/m2 ❑ Minor surgery ❑ Edema in the lower extremities ❑ Varicose veins ❑ Pregnancy ❑ Post-partum ❑ Oral contraceptive ❑ Hormonal therapy ❑ Unexplained or recurrent abortion ❑ Sepsis (in the previous month) ❑ Serious lung disease such as pneumonia (in the previous month) ❑ Abnormal pulmonary function test ❑ Acute myocardial infarction ❑ Congestive heart failure (in the previous month) ❑ Bed rest ❑ Inflammatory bowel disease |
Interpretation of the Caprini Risk Score
The Caprini score is calculated by adding the scores of all factors present in the patient. The Caprini score is interpreted in the following way:
- Score 0-1: Very low risk of VTE
- Score 2: Low risk of VTE
- Score 3-4: Moderate risk of VTE
- Score ≥5: High risk for VTE
