Background: Pretest probability assessment is necessary to identify patients in whom
pulmonary embolism (PE) can be safely ruled out by a negative D-dimer without further …

We have previously demonstrated that a clinical model can be safely used in a management
strategy in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). We sought to simplify the …

INTRODUCTION: The Wells score is widely used in the assessment of pretest probability of
pulmonary embolism (PE). The revised Geneva score is a fully standardized clinical …

Background: The revised Geneva score, a standardized clinical decision rule in the
diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), was recently developed. The Wells clinical decision …

Summary Background: The Pulmonary Embolism Rule‐out Criteria (PERC) rule is a clinical
diagnostic rule designed to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) without further testing. We …

We compared the prognostic performance of the 2014 European Society of Cardiology
(ESC) risk stratification algorithm with the previous 2008 ESC algorithm, the Bova score and …

The Wells score and the revised Geneva score are two most commonly used clinical rules
for excluding pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study, we aimed to assess the diagnostic …

Objectives To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis including all the current
studies to assess the accuracy of pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) in ruling out …

Objectives: Clinical decision rules have been validated for estimation of pretest probability in
patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). However, many clinicians prefer to use …

Background: Clinical probability assessment is combined with d-dimer testing to exclude
pulmonary embolism (PE). Purpose: To compare the test characteristics of gestalt (a …
