- 2Calculate total score
- 3Score 0-1 (low), 2-6 (intermediate), or 7+ (high) PE probability
Mga Nalutas na Halimbawa
Input
Sudden dyspnea +3, HR 110 +1.5, no leg signs, CXR normal
Resulta
Wells ≈ 4.5 (intermediate risk)
Consider D-dimer
Mga Karaniwang Mali na Dapat Iwasan
- ✕Applying score in patients already hospitalized for other reasons
- ✕Neglecting clinical context when interpreting score
