Overview
AMUSE Score
AMUSE Score Calculator
The AMUSE score includes clinical variables in addition to the results of a qualitative D-dimer test to evaluate the need to proceed with ultrasonography among patients with suspected DVT. The study of the AMUSE score was designed for the primary care setting.[1]

Interpretation
The interpretation of the score is as follows:
- Score ≤3: Not high suspicion of DVT, should not proceed with ultrasonography
- Score ≥4: High suspicion of DVT, should proceed with ultrasonography
Limitations of the AMUSE Score
The study of the AMUSE score was not randomized. In addition, the follow up for the detection of missed thrombotic disease was based on clinical evaluation. Moreover, the design of the study that investigated the AMUSE score targeted the primary care setting.
