A new Clinical Score (CS) to rule out Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has to be derived and internally validated (with bootstrap method), from patients suspected of DVT in Italy. Primary care physicians (general practitioners) in Lombardy will be instructed to inform patients suspected of DVT about this research and get in touch with the team to get details and, eventually, volunteer for the study. The CS includes categorical variables and a continuous variable: the differential leg skin temperature measured with a low-cost handheld infrared thermometer in object surface mode.
