Inter-observer Reliability of the TRiP(Cast) Score in Patients With Trauma to a Lower Limb Requiring Immobilisation

"In patients presenting to the emergency department with trauma to a lower limb, the TRiP(cast) score is assessed in accordance with the recommendations. If the patient does not object. The attending physician will then be asked to fill in his implicit assessment of the risk of venous thromboembolism on a paper CRF and then to complete his assessment of the TRiP(cast) score. He will then be free to decide whether or not to anticoagulate the patient.~At the same time, a doctor not involved in the patient's care will assess the TRiP(cast) score and record it on a paper CRF. The second doctor's assessment will be independent and will have no impact on the patient's management.~The CRFs will then be analysed and stored. Data will be anonymised during data collection and each patient will be assigned an anonymity number."
