About the Wells Score for DVT

The Wells Score for DVT is a clinical prediction rule that sums features associated with deep vein thrombosis into a single score. It can support standardized assessment and help guide testing pathways when paired with local protocols.

Common Interpretation (Educational)

  • ≤0: Low probability
  • 1–2: Moderate probability
  • ≥3: High probability
