🩸 Understanding Your Risk: The Caprini Risk Score for Blood Clot Prevention 🦵

The Caprini Risk Score is a trusted, evidence-based tool that helps healthcare providers assess a patient’s risk of developing serious blood clots like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Available at CapriniRiskScore.org, it uses a checklist to evaluate key risk factors such as age, medical history, surgery, and mobility. Each factor is assigned points to calculate the likelihood of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

This tool is vital for patients undergoing surgery or long hospital stays, as early identification of risk allows doctors to take preventive steps like prescribing blood thinners or using compression devices. CapriniRiskScore.org also educates patients and clinicians, empowering everyone to understand clot risks and advocate for prevention. Early detection can save lives. 🌟
