YEARS Algorithm
YEARS Algorithm: calculated with the published clinical method, with result interpretation. A reference tool that does not replace a doctor's advice.
ℹ Reference calculation based on the published method. It does not replace a clinical examination or a doctor's decision.

What it calculates
The “YEARS Algorithm” calculator computes YEARS items from 4 parameters: clinical signs of dvt (1 = yes), hemoptysis (1 = yes), pe is the most likely diagnosis (1 = yes), d-dimer (feu) (ng/mL).
Used by professionals and patients to assess health metrics, dosages, and risks.
Example calculation
With parameters Clinical signs of DVT (1 = yes) = 0, Hemoptysis (1 = yes) = 0, PE is the most likely diagnosis (1 = yes) = 0, D-dimer (FEU) = 800 ng/mL the result is 0 (For hemodynamically stable patients with suspected PE).
How to use
- Enter clinical signs of dvt (1 = yes), hemoptysis (1 = yes), pe is the most likely diagnosis (1 = yes) and d-dimer (feu) — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
- YEARS items is calculated automatically as you type.
- Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.
- Copy the result or bookmark this calculator.

FAQ
How is BMI calculated?
BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)². Example: 70 kg / (1.75 m)² = 22.9. The WHO normal range is 18.5–24.9; below that is underweight, 25–29.9 is overweight, and 30+ is obese.
Is BMI accurate for everyone?
No. BMI does not distinguish muscle from fat, so athletes may show a high BMI with low body fat. It is also less reliable for teenagers, pregnant people, older adults, and very tall or short individuals.
What are the BMI categories?
Underweight: below 18.5. Normal: 18.5–24.9. Overweight: 25–29.9. Obese class I: 30–34.9; class II: 35–39.9; class III: 40+.
What is a better measure than BMI?
Body fat percentage, waist-to-height ratio (aim for under 0.5), and waist circumference give a clearer picture of health than BMI alone.
