Abstract

Objective: to stratify the risk of venous thromboembolism and associated characteristics in clinical patients of a public hospital of the Federal District.
Method: prospective study (60-day follow-up), between August 15 and October 15, 2016, with clinical patients aged over 18 years hospitalized for more than 48 hours. The demographic, clinical and prophylactic characteristics were analyzed. The subjects were divided into two groups: high risk (cases) and low risk (control) for venous thromboembolism, according to the Padua Score.
Results: there was a high prevalence of high-risk patients and the most frequent risk factors were: reduced mobility 59 (58.42%), advanced age 54 (53.47%), and rheumatic infections or diseases 47 (46.53%).
Conclusion: we emphasize the importance of the identification of risk characteristics, as well as the practice of the multidisciplinary team to optimize the risk stratification and to implement early prophylaxis and therapeutic measures.
