Result
 
Important: Inputs must be complete to perform calculation.

 
 
CHOD Score  
 

 
  CHOD Score and Risk of Pulmonary Embolism

 
0 to 2 points: Low risk (4.5% incidence)
3 to 5 points: Moderate risk (36.8% incidence)
6 to 7 points: High risk (100% incidence)

Notes
  • In this calculator, mcg is the abbreviation for micrograms.
  • This calculator represents findings from the literature referenced below. It is important to understand that these findings may not be representative of the experience in your local healthcare system.
  • In this study[1] D-dimer was measured by the HemosIL® D-dimer HS500 system.

 
Equations used
 
CHODScore = CRPFactor + HRFactor + O2SatFactor + DDimerFactor

 

 
Calculation Details and Variables
  • CRPFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If CRP ≥50 mg/L, CRPFactor = 1
    • Else CRPFactor = 0.
  • HRFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If Heart Rate ≥90 beats/min, HRFactor = 2
    • Else HRFactor = 0.
  • O2SatFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If O2Sat ≤92 %, O2SatFactor = 2
    • Else O2SatFactor = 0.
  • DDimerFactor is assigned values by this ordered logic:
    • If D Dimer ≥956 ng(FEU)/mL, DDimerFactor = 2
    • Else DDimerFactor = 0.
