Introduction

Geneva Score Calculator
- The Geneva score is a clinical prediction rule used to determine the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism based on the patient’s risk factors and clinical findings.[1]
- The Geneva score has shown to be as accurate as the Wells score, but it is less reliant on the physicians clinical judgement.[2]
- The Geneva score has been revised and simplified from its original version, but it has been shown to have the same diagnostic utility as the original score.[3]
