OpenMedCalc-clinical calculators for medical assessments

Example

A patient with end-stage liver disease requires their MELD-Na score to assess the urgency of liver transplantation. A physician inputs the patient's serum creatinine, bilirubin, INR, and sodium levels into OpenMedCalc to get an accurate MELD-Na score.

Scenario

In a liver transplant center, patients are often evaluated based on their MELD-Na score to determine their position on the transplant list. OpenMedCalc simplifies this process by automating the calculation.

Example

A 65-year-old patient who recently underwent hip replacement surgery is at risk for developing a blood clot. The surgeon uses OpenMedCalc to calculate the patient's Caprini score, which helps in determining whether prophylactic anticoagulation therapy is necessary.

Scenario

Orthopedic surgeons and general surgeons often use the Caprini score to stratify patients' risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) after surgery. OpenMedCalc provides an easy-to-use interface for calculating this score based on patient-specific data.

Example

A general practitioner sees a patient with leg swelling and redness. Using Wells' Criteria within OpenMedCalc, the GP evaluates the likelihood of DVT and decides if further imaging or treatment is necessary.

Scenario

Primary care physicians and emergency room doctors frequently encounter patients with leg symptoms suggestive of DVT. Wells' Criteria helps guide clinical decision-making, reducing unnecessary tests and streamlining patient care.
