Inter-observer Reliability of the TRiP(Cast) Score in Patients With Trauma to a Lower Limb Requiring Immobilisation

Inter-observer Reliability of the Assessment of the Risk of Developing a Venous Thromboembolic Event, the TRiP(Cast) Score, in Patients With Trauma to a Lower Limb Requiring Immobilisation

About This Trial

The aim of the study isto evaluate the inter-observer reliability of the assessment of venous thromboembolic risk using the TRiP(cast) score in patients presenting with trauma to a lower limb requiring immobilisation, and of the clinicians' assessment using the physician's implicit probability (gestalt) compared with the use of the TRiP(cast) score.

Assessment of the TRiP(cast) score

In patients presenting to the emergency department with trauma to a lower limb, the TRiP(cast) score is assessed in accordance with the recommendations. If the patient does not object. The attending physician will then be asked to fill in his implicit assessment of the risk of venous thromboembolism on a paper CRF and then to complete his assessment of the TRiP(cast) score. He will then be free to decide whether or not to anticoagulate the patient. At the same time, a doctor not involved in the patient's care will assess the TRiP(cast) score and record it on a paper CRF. The second doctor's assessment will be independent and will have no impact on the patient's management. The CRFs will then be analysed and stored. Data will be anonymised during data collection and each patient will be assigned an anonymity number.
