Clinical experience and pre-test probability scores in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism [PDF]

QJM, 2003
The Geneva and Wells pre-test probability scores are intended to replace empirical assessment of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). The effect of clinical experience on the inter-rater variability of these scores, and on empirical judgement, is unknown.To determine whether medical staff appointment grade affects the inter-rater ...

Usefulness of a Novel Electrocardiographic Score to Estimate the Pre-Test Probability of Acute Pulmonary Embolism [PDF]

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2020
According to our experience the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) may be used to estimate the pretest probability of acute pulmonary embolism (acPE). To this end, we devised a novel ECG score (nECGs) composed of 5 known ECG criteria, best characterizing the key pathogenetic steps of acPE. A retrospective derivation cohort including 136 patients with acPE
