What is risk?
Risk can be defined as the probability of an unwanted event occurring and the severity of potential loss
Risks exist because things considered to have value are placed at risk

What is Risk Assessment?
• Risk assessment consists of an objective evaluation of risk in which assumptions and uncertainties are clearly considered and presented.
• Part of the difficulty of risk management is that the measurement of the quantities in which risk assessment is concerned - potential loss and probability of occurrence - can be very difficult to measure.

Risk Assessment for VTE
• Potential losses:– Morbidity or mortality from VTE
(including complications of therapy)– Financial cost of investigating and
treating VTE– Increased future risk of VTE
• Probability of occurrence:– Likelihood of patient developing VTE
![Page 19: Risk Assessment for VTE. Which of the following best describes you?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f4d5503460f94c6dd6b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Potential Losses from VTE• Morbidity
– Post thrombotic syndrome in 30%, severe in 3-5%1 – Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in 4-8% of patients
following PE2
– Bleeding from anticoagulant therapies (1% major bleeding)
• Mortality– 25,000 patients each year are thought to die of VTE in UK hospitals– Mortality from DVT 1-6%– Mortality from PE 10-30– Mortality from anticoagulant therapies (0.3%/year)
• Costs to healthcare system– Investigation and treatment of thrombotic episode– Prolongation of inpatient stay– Treatment of long term complications

Thromboprophylaxis strategies are required
• It is, as yet, impossible to identify those individuals who will develop VTE
• Screening using imaging techniques is of low sensitivity, expensive, time consuming
• Asymptomatic DVT can cause fatal PE

Potential losses: risk of intervention
• Adverse effects of prophylactic therapies– Bleeding
• Dependent on surgical procedure• Intracerebral haemorrhage/ GI bleeding
– Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia• Dependent on prophylactic agent chosen• Higher with unfractionated heparin
• Costs to healthcare system of adverse events

Why Risk Assessment for VTE?
Objectives of RAM
Reduce the burden of VTE

Opt-out model
• Little evidence base
• Advantages– Patients at risk of VTE possibly more likely to
receive thromboprophylaxis
• Disadvantages– Patients not at risk will receive prophylaxis– Patients are likely to be given prophylaxis even
if at increased risk of side-effects

Geerts et al, ACCP, Chest 2008
• We recommend the use of strategies shown to increase thromboprophylaxis adherence, including the use of computer decision support systems, preprinted orders, and periodic audit and feedback.
• Passive methods such as distribution of educational materials or educational meetings are not recommended as sole strategies to increase adherence to thromboprophylaxis
![Page 43: Risk Assessment for VTE. Which of the following best describes you?](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081519/56649f4d5503460f94c6dd6b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Risk assessment for VTE
• Identify patients who would benefit from thromboprophylaxis
• Strategy chosen will be dependent on– Culture of organisation– Local opinion– Information Technology
• For strategy to work- needs to be simple
