Overview
The IMPROVEDD VTE Risk Score, which incorporates D-dimer measurement into the IMPROVE (International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism) score, refines the prediction of symptomatic venous thromboembolism (including symptomatic deep-vein thrombosis, nonfatal pulmonary embolism, and death related to venous thromboembolism) events in acutely ill hospitalized patients up to 77 days of hospitalization.
