IMPEDE-VTE risk assessment calculator

The IMPEDE-VTE calculator is an evidence-based tool designed for healthcare professionals to assess venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk in people with myeloma. VTE, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a common complication during myeloma treatment, and early risk assessment can support timely prevention and monitoring.

Using the validated IMPEDE-VTE scoring system, the calculator combines patient characteristics, disease features and treatment factors to provide a clear risk category. This can help guide decisions on thromboprophylaxis, patient counselling and follow-up care.

The online tool is free to access via MD+CALC and works on any device, making it practical for use in clinic or on ward rounds.
