@entity1211 ( @entity1211 ) includes @entity1150 and @entity1151 . Although much is known about risk factors for @entity1211 , there is failure in administration of appropriate prophylaxis to @entity1 who are at risk for @entity1211 . A paper-based reminder system is considered to be among the most effective methods of improving @entity1211 prophylaxis in hospitalized @entity1 . However, their success relies on choosing an evidence-based institutional guideline and implementation of its recommendations. This study was carried out to detect the extent of application of the institutional guideline (Caprini score risk assessment sheet). The study was carried out in the Jordan University Hospital; 354 @entity1 were enrolled in the study and distributed among the following wards: nonorthopedic surgical (n = 119), medical (n = 220), and surgical orthopedic wards (n = 15). The risk assessment sheet was present in only 47.2% of the @entity1 's' files, and the scores in the files were estimated correctly in only 52.1% of cases. Prophylaxis received by @entity1 matched the recommendation of the Caprini score in 67.1% of the @entity1 . The degree of concordance of the @entity1211 prophylaxis with the Caprini score was 59.9%. This study showed that the institutional guideline was poorly implemented in the hospital.
