Objective To explore the effect of using the modified Caprini risk assessment form to reduce the incidence of VTE in elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 100 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur from January to December 2020 (before the application of the evaluation model) as a control group, and 100 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur from June 2021 to May 2022 were selected as an observation group. The observation group used the improved Caprini risk assessment model for risk assessment, and provided predictive care based on the risk level. The incidence of VTE in the two groups was compared, and a conclusion was reached. Results After nursing, the incidence of VTE in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Using this research method for nursing can promote evidence-based practice of VTE prevention guidelines by medical personnel, establish an effective VTE risk management system, improve nursing efficiency, and ensure the safety of high-risk patients, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
