4T Score for Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

Interpretation of the 4T score:
0-3 points:  Low probability (<<1%)
  - No further workup of HITT is indicated (avoid checking heparin-PF4 antibodies).
4-5 points:  Intermediate probability (~10%)
  - Stop heparin & check anti-PF4 antibody titer
  - Consider therapeutic anticoagulation with non-heparin agent (more on this below).
6-8 points:  High probability (50%)
  - Stop heparin & check anti-PF4 antibody titer
  - Initiate therapeutic anticoagulation with a non-heparin agent
