Agreement between two scales used for assessing risk classification for thromboembolic events and the requirement of postpartum pharmacological prophylaxis

Agreement between the two scales to determine the need for postpartum pharmacological prophylaxis is moderate. Risk classification criteria for the Colombian scale should be validated in a second cohort. Moreover, the predictive ability of the Colombian guideline tool should be assessed at different cut-off points in terms of the consequences of false positive and false negative results.
