In the ED, the Wells score plus age-adjusted D-dimer score ruled out DVT with a failure rate ≤0.8% at 3 mo

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the Wells score combined with age-adjusted D-dimer levels in ruling out deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
• Analyzed the combined use of Wells score and D-dimer tests in emergency department patients.
• Monitored failure rates for DVT diagnosis at three months post-assessment.
• Achieved a failure rate of less than or equal to 0.8% for DVT at the three-month mark.
• Demonstrated reliability of using the Wells score with age-adjusted D-dimer for risk assessment.
