Overview
Wells Score Calculator for PE
This handy calculator computes the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism using Wells criteria.[1][2][3]
Check all boxes that apply to your patient:
Interpretation
Shown below is the pretest probability of PE according to Wells criteria:
- Score >6: High probability (Rate of PE: ~66.7%)
- Score 2-6: Moderate probability (Rate of PE: ~20.5%)
- Score <2: Low probability (Rate of PE: ~3.6%)
