Use of the Caprini Score Integrated With a Thrombodynamics Test Reduces the Incidence of Unpredicted, Postoperative Deep Venous Thrombosis

Thrombodynamics (TD) is a global assay for hemostasis that makes it possible to follow changes in parameters such as hypercoagulation and to control an individual’s response to blood thinners. The aim of this study was to compare how well the classic Caprini 2005 score and its modified version, taking into account the results of TD, predict postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in surgical patients with colorectal cancer.
