Overview

Modified Wells Score for DVT

Modified Wells Score Calculator for DVT

This handy calculator computes the pre-test probability of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using modified Wells criteria.[1][2][3][4][5]

Check all boxes that apply to your patient:

Modified Wells Score Calculator for DVT
Variable Score
Active cancer (treatment within last 6 months or palliative) 1
Calf swelling >3 cm compared to other calf (measured 10 cm below tibial tuberosity) 1
Collateral superficial veins (non-varicose) 1
Pitting edema (confined to symptomatic leg) 1
Swelling of entire leg 1
Localized pain along distribution of deep venous system 1
Paralysis, paresis, or recent cast immobilization of lower extremities 1
Recently bedridden > 3 days, or major surgery requiring regional or general anesthetic in past 12 weeks 1
Previously documented DVT 1
Alternative diagnosis at least as likely -2

Interpretation

The interpretation of the score is as follows:

  • Score <2: DVT is unlikely (Prevalence of DVT or PE - 6%)
  • Score ≥2: DVT is likely (Prevalence of DVT or PE - 28%)
