Objective: To systematically analyze the current application status of artificial intellige nce (AI) in risk assessment and management of venous thromboembolism (VTE), eval uate the predictive performance of AI models and identify key risk factors, thereby pr oviding evidence-based references for optimizing clinical VTE prevention and treatment strategies. Methods: A scoping review framework was used. We searched for literature in both Chinese (CNKI, Wanfang, CBM) and English databases (PubMed, Web of Science, E mbase, CINAHL, and The Cochrane Library) to find studies on AI applications in VT E risk assessment, covering the time from when the databases started until March 10, 2025. By creating research questions, reviewing the literature, gathering data, and su mmarizing the results, we organized various AI models, assessed how accurately they predicted outcomes, and looked at important risk factors. Results: This review included a total of 23 studies. AI models showed better accuracy in predicting VTE risk, with AUC values between 0.740 and 0.990, greatly surpassing tradit ional scoring tools. Key risk factors identified included patient-related factors, disease-relate d factors, treatment-related factors, laboratory indicators, and catheter-related factors. Conclusion: AI technology shows remarkable advantages in VTE risk assessment by integr ating multi-source data to achieve dynamic and personalized prediction. Future research sh ould aim to conduct studies across multiple centers to confirm how useful these models ar e in real-life situations and also look into combining real-time monitoring data with AI to enhance the accuracy of preventing and treating VTE, which will help lower the number of cases and improve patient results.
