Presented during Intern Teaching in Mercy University Hospital. The purpose of this presentation is to create an awareness of the scores that exist for junior docs.
The scores are not absolute. However, they can act as a very good guideline for junior docs.

31. Present Score
Clinical Signs and Symptoms of DVT? +3
PE is No. 1 Dx or Equally likley Dx +3

Immobilization at least 3 days, or Surgery in the Previous 4 weeks +1.5
5 Previous, objectively diagnosed PE or DVT? +1.5
Haemoptysis? +1
Malignancy with treatment within 6 months, or palliative? +1
32. Wells Score > 4 - PE likely
Consider diagnostic imaging
Wells Score 4 or less - PE unlikely
Consider D-dimer to rule out PE

SIRS criteria are very non-specific,[9] and must be interpreted carefully within the clinical context. These criteria exist primarily for the purpose of more objectively classifying critically ill patients so that future clinical studies may be more rigorous and more easily reproducible.
The causes of SIRS are broadly classified as infectious or noninfectious. As above, when SIRS is due to an infection, it is considered sepsis. Noninfectious causes of SIRS include trauma, burns, pancreatitis, ischemia, and hemorrhage.[
quickly determine the degree of illness of a patient
It is based on data derived from four physiological readings (systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature) and one observation (level of consciousness, AVPU). ;

CURB-65, also known as the CURB criteria, is a clinical prediction rule that has been validated for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia[1] and infection of any site.[2] The CURB-65 is based on the earlier CURB score[3] and is recommended by the British Thoracic Society for the assessment of severity of pneumonia.[4]
Who need CT
If not- age, anticoagulant, mechanism of injury, LOC
After TIA to predict the chance of stroke
Score &gt;= 6 have 8.1% chance of getting stroke within 2 days / 35.5% in the next week
Score &gt;4 should be assessed within 24hours by specialist
Decision for thromboprophylaxis
Based on stroke risk
Decision for thromboprophylaxis
Based on stroke risk
Useful in
Assessing the bleeding risk
Has predictive value for cardiovascular events + mortality in anticoagulated AF patients
If HAS-BLED score &gt; 3, the risk of major bleed exceed the risk of thrombotic event

The risk of death at 30 days increases as the score increases:
