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%
