The Padua Prediction Score stratifies VTE risk in acutely ill hospitalized medical patients. A total score of 4 or more indicates high risk and often supports pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis when bleeding risk is acceptable.
Formula: Padua score = sum of weighted risk factors. High VTE risk if total >=4.
A higher Padua score indicates greater inpatient VTE risk; scores >=4 generally support thromboprophylaxis discussions when bleeding risk is acceptable.
Use this score during admission and daily medical-inpatient reassessment to guide VTE prevention strategy.
Padua is a risk-stratification aid and should be applied with clinical judgment, bleeding-risk assessment, and local prophylaxis protocols.
For related assessments, see Caprini Score, Wells Score (DVT) and 4T Score (HIT).

EmergencyCalculate Wells Score for DVT to estimate pretest probability and guide D-dimer testing, compression ultrasound, and next-step clot workup.
HematologyCalculate the 4T score for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) pretest probability. Score ≤3: >99% NPV for HIT. Intermediate/High (≥4): stop heparin, start alternative anticoagulation.
