PVI Mortality Score: Explanation and Clinical Context The PVI Mortality Score is a clinical tool used to estimate the risk of mortality in patients undergoing Peripheral Vascular Intervention (PVI).
It incorporates factors such as age, creatinine levels, hemoglobin levels, diabetes, and smoking status to stratify patients into low, moderate, or high-risk categories.
This score aids clinicians in decision-making, prioritizing interventions, and managing patient expectations.
