  1. The 2009 version of the Caprini risk assessment model, which includes more than 40 different risk factors such as age, bed rest, surgery, history of thrombotic diseases, family history of thrombosis, etc., each risk factor is assigned 1–5 points according to different risk levels, respectively. According to the total score of risk factors of patients, the risk of VTE occurrence of patients is divided into 4 grades: low risk (0 ~ 1 point), moderate risk (2 points), high risk (3 ~ 4 points), and very high risk (≥ 5 points).
