IMPROVE Bleeding Risk Score: 0 — IMPROVE <7: lower bleeding risk. Interpretation: IMPROVE <7: lower bleeding risk What to do: A total below 7 was the lower-risk group for in-hospital bleeding in acutely ill medical patients. Inputs: Age ≥85 years: false; Age 40–84 years: false; Male sex: false; Severe renal failure (GFR <30): false; Moderate renal failure (GFR 30–59): false; Current cancer: false; Rheumatic disease: false; Central venous catheter: false; ICU/CCU stay: false; Hepatic failure (INR >1.5): false; Platelet count <50 × 10⁹/L: false; Bleeding in the 3 months before admission: false; Active gastroduodenal ulcer: false Source: Decousus H et al. Factors at admission associated with bleeding risk in medical patients: findings from the IMPROVE investigators. Chest. DOI: 10.1378/chest.09-3081. PMID: 20453069. Scope: IMPROVE bleeding risk points at admission (ulcer 4.5, prior bleed 4, platelets <50×10⁹/L 4, age ≥85 3.5, GFR <30 / hepatic failure / ICU 2.5, cancer/rheumatic/CVC 2, age 40–84 1.5, male/GFR 30–59 1); ≥7 marks higher bleed risk.
