A decision model to estimate a risk threshold for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in hospitalized medical patients.
To determine a threshold for prophylaxis based on risk of venous thromboembolism, the researchers constructed a decision model with a decision-tree following patients for 3 months after hospitalization, and a lifetime Markov model with 3-month cycles. They found that the prophylaxis threshold was relatively insensitive to low-molecular-weight heparin cost and bleeding risk, but very sensitive to patient age and life expectancy.
