Overview
Rogers score is a scoring system for the assessment of the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism following non-cardiac surgeries.[1]
Roger's Score
Calculation of Roger's Score
| Variable | Score |
| Respiratory and hemic surgery | 9 |

| Aneurysm surgery | 4 |
| Mouth or palate surgery | 4 |
| Stomach or intestines surgery | 4 |
| Integument surgery | 3 |
| Hernia surgery | 2 |
| American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification 3, 4, or 5 | 2 |
| ASA physical status class 2 | 1 |
| Female | 1 |
| Work relative value unit > 17 | 3 |
| Work relative value unit 10−17 | 2 |
| Disseminated malignancy | 2 |
| Chemotherapy for cancer in the last 30 days | 2 |
| Serum sodium > 145 mmol/L pre-op | 2 |
| Transfusion > 4 U packed red blood cells within 72 h pre-op | 2 |
| Dependency on ventilator | 2 |
| Wound class (clean/contaminated) | 1 |
| Hematocrit ≤ 38% pre-op | 1 |
| Bilirubin > 1.0 mg/dL pre-op | 1 |
| Dyspnea | 1 |
| Albumin ≤ 3.5 mg/dL | 1 |
| Emergency | 1 |
| ASA physical status classification 1 | 0 |
| Work relative value unit < 10 | 0 |
| Male | 0 |
Interpretation of Roger's Score
The Rogers score is calculated by adding the scores of all factors present in the patient. The Rogers score is interpreted in the following way:
- Score 1-6: Low
- Score 7-10: Moderate
- Score > 10: High
