Interpretation of the IMPROVE Score for VTE

The interpretation of the score is as follows:

Score = 0: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 0.4%
Score = 1: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 0.6%
Score = 2: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 1%
Score = 3: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 1.7%
Score = 4: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 2.9%
Score ≥ 5: Predicted VTE risk through 3 months is 7.2%
