Objective[edit | edit source]
The Revised Geneva Score is a Clinical Prediction Rule for pulmonary embolism (PE). Its objective is to determine patients who are low-risk to rule out pulmonary embolism with a d-dimer serum test and for intermediate and high-risk patients to undergo additional imaging studies such as CT angiography and ultrasound.
Intended Population[edit | edit source]
It is used for individuals at risk for pulmonary embolism.
Method of Use[edit | edit source]
Revised Geneva Scale [1]
| Variables | Points |
|---|---|
| Risk factors | |
| Age >65 y | 1 |
| Previous DVT or PE | 3 |
| Surgery (under general anesthesia) or fracture (of the lower limbs) within 1 month | 2 |
| Active malignant condition (solid or hematologic malignant condition, currently active or
considered cured <1 y) |
2 |
| Symptoms | |
| Unilateral lower-limb pain | 3 |
| Hemoptysis | 2 |
| Clinical signs | |
| 75–94 beats/min | 3 |
| >95 beats/min | 5 |
| Pain on lower-limb deep venous palpation and unilateral edema | 4 |
| Clinical Probability | |
| Low | 0-3 total |
| Intermediate | 4–10 total |
| High | >11 total |
