Overview
Overview
[Name of the Score] is a (± validated) risk assessment tool designed to assess the (30-day/10-year/other timeframe) risk of (bleeding/ischemia/other end point) associated with (antiplatelet/antithrombotic/other treatment) among patients with (coronary heart disease/heart failure/other condition).
DASH Prediction Score
DASH Prediction Score
- DASH Prediction Score was invented by A. Tosetto et al in 2012[1], and has been externally validated in subsequent study in 2017[2] particularly in young adults.
- DASH Prediction Score is a clinical prediction rule devised to assess the recurrence in patients with previous unprovoked venous thromboembolism especially in people aged <65 years.This helps decide whether anticoagulation be continued indefinitely or stopped after at least 3 months of anticoagulation.[3]

- Score – 2: annualized recurrence rate 1.8%
- Score 2–3: intermediate-risk (1 to 5% mortality); consider treatment or hospitalization.
- Score ≥ 4: high-risk (> 5% mortality); treatment/hospitalization is warranted.
