Estimate two-tier Wells points for pulmonary embolism from seven clinical items.
| Score | – |
Use this calculator for the Wells PE score: clinical DVT signs 3, PE more likely than alternatives 3, heart rate over 100 1.5, immobilisation or surgery in four weeks 1.5, prior DVT or PE 1.5, haemoptysis 1, active malignancy 1. Two-tier cut-off is often 4 (PE unlikely vs likely). PERC and revised Geneva are different checklists; they are not cloned here. This is not a CT pulmonary angiogram.
DVT signs: Clinical signs of DVT (3 points).
PE most likely: PE is the leading diagnosis (3).
HR over 100: Heart rate over 100 (1.5).
Immobilisation: Immobilisation or surgery in 4 weeks (1.5).
Prior DVT/PE: Previous DVT or PE (1.5).
Haemoptysis: Coughing blood (1).
Malignancy: Active cancer (1).
Score: Wells PE points.
