Abstract
Wells' score and Wells' modified score have shown excellent performances. The value of the modified Wells' score is not superior and our preference, for practical reasons, goes to the original score. The widespread use of duplex ultrasound, the large proportion of patients in which D-dimers would not have been contributory and the excellent results of Wells score for patients with a low probability of DVT are encouraging arguments in favor of the development of an alternative strategy for these patients.
