| === Calculation of the AMUSE Score ===
| |
| The AMUSE score includes clinical variables in addition to the results of a qualitative [[D-dimer]] test to evaluate the need to proceed with [[ultrasonography]] among patients with suspected [[DVT]]. The study of the AMUSE score was designed for the primary care setting.<ref name="pmid19221374">{{cite journal| author=Büller HR, Ten Cate-Hoek AJ, Hoes AW, Joore MA, Moons KG, Oudega R et al.| title=Safely ruling out deep venous thrombosis in primary care. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 2009 | volume= 150 | issue= 4 | pages= 229-35 | pmid=19221374 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19221374 }} </ref>

| |
| === Interpretation of the AMUSE Score ===
| |
| The interpretation of the score is as follows:
| |
| * Score ≤3: Not high suspicion of [[DVT]], should not proceed with [[ultrasonography]]
| |
| * Score ≥4: High suspicion of [[DVT]], should proceed with [[ultrasonography]]
| |
| === Limitations of the AMUSE Score ===
| |
| The study of the AMUSE score was not randomized. In addition, the follow up for the detection of missed thrombotic disease was based on clinical evaluation. Moreover, the design of the study that investigated the AMUSE score targeted the primary care setting.
