Method · Limits of application

Padua Prediction Score/Barbar 2010: 11 factors, 0–20; hospitalized medical patient

Padua was studied in medical inpatients in internal medicine, with follow-up for symptomatic thromboembolism up to 90 days. Thrombotic stratification must be accompanied by assessment of bleeding, contraindications and the prophylaxis protocol. The total does not replace that analysis or imply automatic application to surgical patients.
