Overview
The IMPROVEDD VTE Risk Score, which incorporates D-dimer measurement into the IMPROVE (International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism) score, refines the prediction of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (including symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, and death related to venous thromboembolism) events in acutely ill hospitalized patients up to 77 days of hospitalization.[1][2]

IMPROVEDD VTE Risk Score Calculator
Shown below is the calculator for IMPROVEDD Score for VTE (check all the boxes that apply):
Interpretation
- Score = 0: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 0.4% at 35-42 days and 0.5% at 77 days
- Score = 1: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 0.6% at 35-42 days and 0.7% at 77 days
- Score = 2: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 0.8% at 35-42 days and 1.0% at 77 days
- Score = 3: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 1.2% at 35-42 days and 1.4% at 77 days
- Score = 4: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 1.6% at 35-42 days and 1.9% at 77 days
- Score ≥ 5: Predicted Risk of Symptomatic VTE is 2.2% at 35-42 days and 2.7% at 77 days
