Post-COVID Thrombotic Risk Composite (D-dimer + Clinical): Explanation and Clinical Context This calculator applies the IMPROVE-DD model, combining clinical factors with D-dimer elevation (≥2× ULN) to estimate venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in post-COVID patients. Clinical Significance: High scores identify patients who may benefit from extended prophylaxis with rivaroxaban 10 mg daily for 35 days post-discharge (as shown in the MICHELLE trial). Low scores suggest no prophylaxis is needed.
Interpretation: 0–1 = Low risk 2–3 = Moderate risk ≥4 = High risk
