How is the Khorana Score Used in Clinical Practice?
The Khorana Score is often used in conjunction with other clinical judgments and diagnostic tools. For instance, high-risk patients may undergo additional imaging studies, like Doppler ultrasound or CT scans, to detect asymptomatic VTE. Prophylactic anticoagulation may be considered for those with a high score, although the decision must be balanced against the risk of bleeding.
