Overview
Padua Prediction Score for VTE
Calculation of the Padua Prediction Score
Shown below is a table depicting Padua predictive score for VTE among hospitalized medical patients.
| Variable | Score |
| Active cancer | 3 |
| Previous VTE | 3 |
| Decreased mobility | 3 |
| Thrombophilia | 3 |
| Previous trauma or surgery within that last month | 2 |
