Wells score to predict pulmonary embolism in patients with coronavirus disease 2019
B Kirsch, M Aziz, S Kumar, M Burke, T Webster… - The American journal of …, 2021 - Elsevier
Background The association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and
hypercoagulability has been extensively described, and pulmonary embolism is a
recognized complication of COVID-19. Currently, the need for computed tomography
pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) relies on the Wells score and serum D-dimer levels. However,
because COVID-19 patients have a different thrombotic and inflammatory milieu, the
usefulness of the Wells score deserves further exploration for this patient population. We …
