Below are three validated systems: the Modified Wells Scoring System, the Revised Geneva Scoring System, and the Pulmonary Embolism Rule Out Criteria (PERC). [4, 5, 6] Simplified versions of the Wells score and the revised Geneva score have been developed. Initial studies support the validity ...
The Wells score has a two- and a three-tier model. We chose to use the two-tier model, which provides a PE unlikely (score ≤ 4) and PE likely (score ≥ 5) [12, 18]. Due to the criteria “PE is #1 diagnosis or equally likely”, we calculated two Wells score versions...

Revised Geneva scoreYEARS criteriaPulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition. Since it is considered a 'do not miss' diagnosis, PE tends to be over-investigated beyond the evidence-based clinical decision support systems (CDSS), which in turn subjects patients ...

We will talk about the Wells criteria as well as explain how to use our PE calculator: First, use our Wells score calculator if you suspect a patient may have a pulmonary embolism. The patient also needs to be hemodynamically stable. Secondly, check for clinical signs and symptoms of deep ...
The pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) rule is an eight-factor decision rule to support the decision not to order a diagnostic test when the gestalt-based clinical suspicion on pulmonary embolism (PE) is low. In a retrospective cohort study, we determined the accuracy of a negative ...
