AMUSE Score Calculator

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.^[1]

Check all boxes that apply to your patient:

Interpretation of the AMUSE Score

The interpretation of the score is as follows:

Score ≤3: Not high suspicion of DVT: Should not proceed with ultrasonography
Score ≥4: High suspicion of DVT: Should proceed with ultrasonography
