PE Workup Calculator (Wells, PERC, Age-Adjusted D-dimer, YEARS)

For educational use only. Not medical advice. All use subject to Terms and Conditions.

PE Workup Calculator

Age, Pregnancy, YEARS? → Wells → PERC if eligible → D-dimer → Recommendation
Step 1 — Patient basics
Minimum 18. PERC requires age < 50.
PERC is not applied in pregnancy; D-dimer pathway is used.
YEARS ON → threshold 1000/500 ng/mL FEU (0 vs ≥1 YEARS items). YEARS OFF (non-pregnant) → age×10 if ≥50 (else 500).
Step 2 — Wells score

Wells score

0.0
Two-tier: ≤4 PE unlikely; >4 PE likely

Pretest category

PE unlikely
Three-tier: Low (≤1), Moderate (2–6), High (≥7)

Note

If PE likely, D-dimer cannot exclude PE → imaging.
Step 3 — PERC rule (shown only if eligible)
Leave all boxes unchecked to rule out.

Checking any criterion means PERC is not negative.

PERC status

Not evaluated
0/8 criteria satisfied
Step 4 — D-dimer
YEARS items (used only when YEARS is ON)
YEARS 0 → threshold 1000 ng/mL FEU; ≥1 → 500 ng/mL FEU.
