Understanding Wells’ Criteria for Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This criterion helps determine a patient's risk of developing DVT. DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the deep veins, typically in the lower legs, thigh, or pelvis. DVT can cause a pulmonary embolism, post-thrombotic syndrome, disability, and even death if not identified and treated properly. However, this condition is preventable and treatable when caught early. A Wells score can help a doctor determine a patient's risk/lik

📚 Understanding Wells Criteria for Pulmonary Embolism: 🔍 What is the Wells Criteria? The Wells criteria is a clinical prediction rule used to estimate the probability of pulmonary embolism in a patient. It helps us determine whether a patient is at low, moderate, or high risk for PE based on specific clinical findings and history. Knowing this can guide us in deciding the next steps in diagnosis and management. 🔎 Interpreting the Wells Score: 🔹Low Risk (0-1 points): Low probability of PE 🔹M
