The Wells Criteria for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a validated clinical decision rule used to estimate the pre-test probability of DVT based on patient history and physical examination. When combined with D-Dimer testing, it safely reduces unnecessary Doppler ultrasound imaging in emergency and outpatient settings.
Pay close attention to the 'Alternative diagnosis at least as likely as DVT' (-2 points) criterion. Distinguishing whether leg swelling is secondary to recent surgery, trauma, or a new thrombosis requires strong clinical judgment.
