Method evidence record
Wells Score for DVT
The Wells score, developed by Wells et al. in 1994, is a clinical prediction rule that stratifies patients into low, intermediate, or high pretest probability of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It combines seven clinical features to guide diagnostic testing decisions and reduce unnecessary imaging in suspected DVT patients.
