Updated Review of the Wells’ Criteria for Pulmonary Embolism
The Wells’ Criteria for Pulmonary Embolism is a validated clinical tool that helps stratify patients for risk of pulmonary embolism based on pre-test probability. It objectifies pretest probability through a weighted scoring system which can help guide decisions about diagnostic testing and imaging. It is an evidence-based risk assessment tool for patients in whom PE is suspected.
