A Clinic-Genetic Score for Risk Assessment of Recurrent Venous Thrombo Embolism

Background Current risk assessment models to predict the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) in an individual patient (i.e Vienna Pedicitive Model, DASH score) include clinical and biochemical parameters and have showed discrimination values ranging from 0.64 to 0.68. Genetic variants associated to thrombophilia have showed to play a relevant role in predicting primary VTE. Combination of those genetic variables together with clinical...
