A pregnancy-specific ICD-9-CM for VTE had a positive predictive value (PPV) of 54/174=31% (95% CI=24-38%), whereas standard VTE codes had a PPV of 30 of 38=80% (95% CI=63-99%). A PPV in the range of 95-100% could be attained using other criteria, at the expense of detecting only 28 to 45% of all VTE cases. Conclusions:

Duplex ultrasonography is an imaging test that uses sound waves to look at the flow of blood in the veins. It can detect blockages or blood clots in the deep veins. It is the standard imaging test to diagnose DVT. A D-dimer blood test measures a substance in the blood that is released when a clot breaks up.
A doctor will assess your risk for VTE by gathering information and asking questions about certain factors, including:age.weight.medical history.current medications.family history.lifestyle habits.
Thrombophlebitis (throm-boe-fluh-BY-tis) is an inflammatory process that causes a blood clot to form and block one or more veins, usually in the legs.

The VTE measure set is unique in that there is only one sub-population within the measure set.
Hospitals that choose to sample have the option of sampling quarterly or sampling monthly. A hospital may choose to use a larger sample size than is required. Hospitals whose Initial Patient Population size is less than the minimum number of cases per quarter/month for the sub-population cannot sample that sub-population.
