Revised Geneva Score Calculator

Recently in 2006, the revised Geneva score was introduced with a more standardized and simplified algorithm to help predict the probability that a patient has a pulmonary embolism.[1]

Calculation of the Revised Geneva Score for PE

This handy calculator computes the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism using revised Geneva criteria.

Check all boxes that apply to your patient:

Revised Geneva Score
Variable Score
Age more than 65 years 1
Prior history of DVT or PE 3
Surgery under general anesthesia or fracture of the lower limbs within the last month 2
Active malignant condition (currently active or cured less than 1 year ago) 2
Unilateral lower limb pain 3
Hemoptysis 2
Heart rate 75 to 94 beats per minute 3
Heart rate 95 or more beats per minute 5
Pain on deep palpation of lower limb and unilateral edema 4
Revised Geneva Score:
Interpretation:

Interpretation of the Revised Geneva Score for PE

Shown below is the interpretation of the revised Geneva score:

  • Score 0-3 points: Low probability of PE (8%)
  • Score 4-10 points: Intermediate probability of PE (28%)
  • Score ≥ 11 points: High probability of PE (74%)
