Michigan Score — PICC-Associated Venous Thromboembolism Risk

Predicts the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) associated with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement. The Michigan PICC Score was derived to help clinicians determine when patients have sufficient VTE risk to justify post-insertion prophylactic anticoagulation — a practice with uncertain benefit and variable adoption.
