Computer guidance to prevent blood clots after hospital stay
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a computerized tool that helps doctors decide who needs prevention medicines to lower the risk of blood clots after a hospital stay. It may help reduce preventable clotting risk for people who are less mobile and have added risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 40 or older
- You are currently hospitalized for an acute medical problem (like heart failure, breathing/respiratory failure, infection, rheumatic disease, or ischemic stroke)
- You have reduced mobility during this illness or hospitalization
- You are not already planned to take a blood-clot prevention medicine (thromboprophylaxis) when you leave the hospital
- You have at least one extra blood-clot risk factor: age 60+, prior blood clot, or a history of cancer

This study looks at a prevention plan to reduce the risk of hospital-acquired blood clots. It may help people who are expected to stay in the hospital for several days but do not already have a clot.
This trial tests a new computer tool that helps doctors decide whether you likely have a blood clot in your leg or lung. If you have symptoms and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether giving medicine to prevent blood clots during varicose vein treatment is safe and helpful. It focuses on people having a minimally invasive procedure on enlarged leg veins under local anesthesia.
This trial compares a personalized approach to preventing blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery with the standard one-size-fits-all method. The goal is to see if tailoring prevention to each patient works better and is safer.
