Brief Summary

Together with individual predisposition to form vascular clots and clinical conditions that further increase this risk, venous thromboembolism (VTE) poses a significant additional morbidity and mortality risk for the majority of the world's population. Although VTE causes serious disability and death when undiagnosed, it is a medical condition that can be prevented when diagnosed early. Although all hospitalized patients are at risk of DVT, studies have shown that 75% of hospitalized patients are hospitalized in internal clinics.As a result of this observational study, it was aimed to determine the VTE risk levels of the patients from the time of hospitalization and to determine preventive nursing care for VTE.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Determination of IMPROVE risk model risk levels according to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism risk factors

  IMPROVE VTE Risk modeli,the seven risk factors evaluated in this model are history of VTE, thrombophilia, cancer in remission within the last 5 years, lower extremity paralysis or paresthesia (leg falling to the bed within 5 seconds), immobilization (complete immobility in bed or chair for ≥ 1 day), ICU (ICU)/Coronary ICU hospitalization, Age ≥ 60 years. In this model with a maximum of 12 points; 0-1 point range is defined as low VTE risk, 2-3 point range as moderate VTE risk and 4 points and above high VTE risk,
