Wells score plus age-adjusted d-dimer rules out more PEs- Concurrent COVID-19 infection does not affect the sensitivity of D-dimer for pulmonary embolism diagnosis
- Increasing the D-dimer threshold for patients with low clinical pretest probability effectively rules out PE (PEGeD)
- YEARS clinical decision tool decreases CT angiography in patients with suspected PE
- Clinical decision rules similarly effective in excluding PE
- Pulmonary embolism common in patients with first episode of syncope (PESIT)
- Serial proximal vein ultrasonography + D-dimer = whole-leg Doppler for suspected leg DVT
- Guidelines for the clinical diagnosis of VTE (AAFP, ACP)
- Prevalence of pulmonary embolism is 5.9% in patients with COPD who are hospitalized with acute respiratory symptoms
- D-dimer can identify high-risk group for extended anticoagulation (PROLONG)
- Pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria reduces the need for CT pulmonary angiography in low-risk patients (PERC)
