Wells et al. clinical model to assess pre-test probability of deep vein thrombosis.

Clinical features Score
Active cancer (treatment ongoing or within previous 6 months or palliative) 1
Paralysis, paresis, or recent plaster immobilization of the legs 1
Recently bedridden for more than 3 days or major surgery within 4 weeks 1
Localized tenderness along the distribution of the deep venous system 1
Entire leg swollen 1
Calf swelling by more than 3 cm compared with the asymptomatic leg (measured 10 cm below the tibial tuberosity) 1
Pitting oedema (greater in the symptomatic leg) 1
Collateral superficial veins (non-varicose) 1
Alternative diagnosis as likely or wider than that of deep vein thrombosis −2

Note. Low probability: score of 0 or less; Moderate probability: 1–2; High probability: 3 or more.
