Objective To develop a new pretest probability score for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in
unselected population of outpatients and inpatients. Methods The new score was developed …

Objective Suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower limbs (LL) may require different
tools to rule out or confirm the diagnosis. Clinical probability provides help to select useful …

Background The clinical picture of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is nonspecific. Therefore
assessment of the probability of occurrence of DVT plays a very important part in making a …

Background Current clinical decision rules to exclude deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are
underused partly because of their complexity. A simplified rule that can be easily applied …

PURPOSE: We compared three scores for the prediction of deep venous thrombosis with a
new score designed specifically for outpatients. METHODS: Patients referred for evaluation …

Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a difficult to diagnostic disease. The aim of this
study was to determine the utility and accuracy of a risk stratification questionnaire and a …

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities can be associated with significant
morbidity and may progress to pulmonary embolism and postthrombotic syndrome. Early …

We evaluated two clinical scores for the prediction of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in
hospitalized patients (Wells' and Kahn's). We included 273 patients referred to the vascular …

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized
patients. The Wells score for DVT pretest probability (PTP) was validated in outpatients, but …

Objectives The aim of this research was to compare the accuracy of the modified Wells, the
Wells, the Kahn, the St. André, and the Constans score for the diagnosis of deep vein …
