| === Calculation of the AMUSE Score ===
| |
| The AMUSE score includes clinical variables in addition to the results of a qualitative [[D-dimer]] test to evaluate the need to proceed with [[ultrasonography]] among patients with suspected [[DVT]]. The study of the AMUSE score was designed for the primary care setting.<ref name="pmid19221374">{{cite journal| author=Büller HR, Ten Cate-Hoek AJ, Hoes AW, Joore MA, Moons KG, Oudega R et al.| title=Safely ruling out deep venous thrombosis in primary care. | journal=Ann Intern Med | year= 2009 | volume= 150 | issue= 4 | pages= 229-35 | pmid=19221374 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19221374 }} </ref>
