==Overview==
The Caprini risk score is a risk assessment tool for the occurrence of [[venous thromboembolism]] among surgical patients. The Caprini risk score includes 20 variables and it is derived from a prospective study of 538 general surgery patients.<ref name="pmid1754886">{{cite journal| author=Caprini JA, Arcelus JI, Hasty JH, Tamhane AC, Fabrega F| title=Clinical assessment of venous thromboembolic risk in surgical patients. | journal=Semin Thromb Hemost | year= 1991 | volume= 17 Suppl 3 | issue=  | pages= 304-12 | pmid=1754886 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=1754886  }} </ref>

===Interpretation of the Caprini Risk Score===
The Caprini score is calculated by adding the scores of all factors present in the patient.  The Caprini score is interpreted in the following way:<ref name="pmid1754886">{{cite journal| author=Caprini JA, Arcelus JI, Hasty JH, Tamhane AC, Fabrega F| title=Clinical assessment of venous thromboembolic risk in surgical patients. | journal=Semin Thromb Hemost | year= 1991 | volume= 17 Suppl 3 | issue=  | pages= 304-12 | pmid=1754886 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=1754886  }} </ref><ref name="pmid15900257">{{cite journal| author=Caprini JA| title=Thrombosis risk assessment as a guide to quality patient care. | journal=Dis Mon | year= 2005 | volume= 51 | issue= 2-3 | pages= 70-8 | pmid=15900257 | doi=10.1016/j.disamonth.2005.02.003 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=15900257  }} </ref>
* '''Score 0-1''': Low risk of [[VTE]]
* '''Score 2''': Moderate of [[VTE]]
* '''Score 3-4''': High risk of [[VTE]]
* '''Score ≥ 5''': Highest risk for [[VTE]]
