VTE-BLEED score for major bleeding risk on extended anticoagulation after venous thromboembolism; ≥ 2 points flags elevated risk.

Example

Anemia
Yes
Age ≥ 60
Yes

Result: VTE-BLEED 3 — elevated bleeding risk (≥ 2).

What the result means

Cut-point
Total ≥ 2 = elevated bleeding risk; weighed against recurrence risk, it does not by itself stop anticoagulation.

What you enter

  • Active cancer (2)
  • Male with uncontrolled hypertension (1)
  • Anemia (1.5)
  • History of bleeding (1.5)
  • Age ≥ 60 (1.5)
  • Renal dysfunction CrCl 30–60 (1.5)
How this is calculated
Points
Active cancer 2; male with uncontrolled hypertension 1; anemia, prior bleeding, age ≥ 60, and renal dysfunction 1.5 each.
