This article focuses on a study related to patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Since antiquity, a measure of a physician's skill and experience has been the ability to predict at the bedside whether a disease is present or absent. In the current era, standardized clinical prediction scores (also known as clinical decision rules) can level the playing field so that physicians, irrespective of experience, can obtain an estimate of disease likelihood. The clinician can choose from several clinical prediction tools to estimate the likelihood of lower-limb deep venous thrombosis (DVT).
