Pulmonary Embolism Modified Wells Score Calculator
Calculation of the Modified Wells Score for PE
This handy calculator computes the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism using modified Wells criteria.
Check all boxes that apply to your patient:
Interpretation of the Modified Wells Score for PE
Shown below is the pretest probability of PE according to modified Wells criteria:[1][2]
- Score ≤4: PE unlikely (Rate of PE: ~7.8%)
- Score >4: PE likely (Rate of PE: ~40.7%)
