We identified eight independent risk factors for acquired VTE among hospitalized patients in the ICU, deriving a new ICU-VTE risk assessment model. The model aims to predict asymptomatic VTE in ICU patients. The new model has higher predictive accuracy than the current tools. A prospective study is required for external validation of the tool and risk stratification in ICU patients.
