Development of a risk score to predict peripherally inserted central catheter thrombosis in active cancer.

Cancer patients had longer PICC durations and higher PICC thrombosis rates than those without (7% vs 0.7%). mMRS more accurately classified low PICC thrombosis risk than KRS<1(47% versus 22%). Prospective validation of mMRS is warranted. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
