Risk Assessment of Venous Thromboembolism in Neurocritical Patients: Construction and Validation of a Clinical Prediction Model.

ABSTRACT:

Background/objective

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains a significant challenge in neurocritical care, with limited tailored risk assessment tools available for clinical practice. This study aimed to develop and validate a practical prediction model to support VTE prevention strategies in neurocritical patients.

Methods

A total of 605 neurocritical patients were retrospectively enrolled in the neurologic intensive care unit (NICU) from May 2022 to April 2024. The eligible patients were randomly divided into a training dataset and a testing dataset in a ratio of 7:3. Variables with significant univariate effects in the training dataset were selected for multivariable stepwise regression analysis. The model fitting goodness was tested using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, the area
