Wells Criteria for DVT

Wells Score for DVT

0

Low Probability

Pretest probability: 5% (4-8%)

Two-Level Score

DVT Unlikely

Probability: 6%

Score Range

-2 to +9

Current: 0

Interpretation

Low pretest probability. D-dimer can safely exclude DVT if negative.

Recommended Next Steps

  • β€’ D-dimer testing recommended
  • β€’ If D-dimer negative: DVT excluded (negative predictive value >99%)
  • β€’ If D-dimer positive: Proceed to ultrasound
  • β€’ No imaging needed if D-dimer negative

Diagnostic Algorithm

Low (≀0): D-dimer β†’ if negative, DVT excluded

Moderate (1-2): D-dimer β†’ ultrasound if positive

High (β‰₯3): Ultrasound directly

Alternative Diagnoses to Consider

CellulitisSuperficial thrombophlebitisRuptured Baker's cystMuscle strain or tearPost-thrombotic syndromeLymphedemaChronic venous insufficiency
