EVALUATION OF DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS RISK IN SURGICAL PATIENTS USING CAPRINI RISK ASSESSMENT MODEL

Abstract

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains a significant cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. Risk stratification tools like the Caprini Risk Assessment Model have been widely utilized to guide prophylactic strategies. However, adaptations to the original Caprini score may enhance its relevance in specific populations and surgical contexts.
