🩸 DASH Score (Recurrent VTE)

UseWhen to use: shared decisions on extended anticoagulation after unprovoked VTE.

StrataLower scores often support stopping AC; higher scores favor extension if bleed risk OK.

LimitsWhen not to use: provoked VTE, cancer, or APS pathways. · Pitfall: on-treatment D-dimer or mismatched assay cutoffs. · Balance with bleed scores and preference.

Clinical takeaway

Off-AC D-dimer.

When to use

When to use: shared decisions on extended anticoagulation after unprovoked VTE.

How it works

Abnormal D-dimer (+2) + age≤50 (+1) + male (+1) + hormone at VTE (−2).

Key points

  • Off-AC D-dimer.
  • Range ~−2 to +4.
  • Next: HAS-BLED / VTE-BLEED.

Worked calculation

The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.

Frequently asked questions

Does DASH Score (Recurrent VTE) upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
How is DASH Score (Recurrent VTE) calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
Inputs: D-dimer abnormal (off anticoagulation) Normal (0), Age ≤ 50 years No (0), Male sex No (0), Hormone therapy at index VTE (women) No / male / not applicable (0) → Result: DASH 0（Cue: Lower published annual recurrence band — many discuss stopping AC if otherwise suitable, Range: Typically −2 to +4）
