ABSTRACT: Background
The Caprini risk assessment model (RAM) is a classical score that evaluates the risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE) aimed at patients with lower extremity fractures (LEF). However, the influencing factors of RAM pay more attention to clinical characteristic variables and recognized thrombophilia markers such as prothrombin, while ignoring the influence of other laboratory indicators on thrombosis. This is the first paper to screen predictive risk factors associated with VTE to modify the Caprini model and determine its diagnostic value.Results and methods
We included 953 LEF patients from January 2019 to December 2021 and randomized them in a 7:3 ratio into a training set (n = 667) and a validation set (n = 286). Logistic regression and LASSO regressi
