A COVID-19 Pretest Probability Calculator [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract Background: COVID-19 presents with a wide variety of symptoms which also vary in severity. Clinical gestalt is required to help distinguish between COVID-19 and other viral illness. As the pandemic heads into the second year, patient compliance with isolation and quarantine precautions is starting to diminish.

Clinical characteristics and BGA-optimized pretest probability of pulmonary embolism in the elderly. [PDF]

Med Klin Intensivmed Notfmed
Abstract Background Pulmonary arterial embolism (PE) is not well characterized in elderly patients. In addition, unnecessary computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations are often performed within this patient group, especially if the pretest probability is low.

Evaluating the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Guideline—Recommended and Contemporary Pretest Probability Models in a Mixed Asian Cohort: The Contribution of Coronary Artery Calcium [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Most pretest probability (PTP) tools for obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) were Western ‐developed. The most appropriate PTP models and the contribution of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in Asian populations remain unknown.

A predictive model to estimate the pretest probability of metastasis in patients with osteosarcoma. [PDF]

Medicine (Baltimore), 2017
Osteosarcomas (OSs) represent a huge challenge to improve the overall survival, especially in metastatic patients. Increasing evidence indicates that both tumor-associated elements but also on host-associated elements are under a remarkable effect on the prognosis of cancer patients, especially systemic inflammatory response.

Comparison of the RF-CL and CACS-CL models to estimate the pretest probability of obstructive coronary artery disease and predict prognosis in patients with stable chest pain and diabetes mellitus [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe most appropriate tool for estimating the pretest probability (PTP) of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and stable chest pain (SCP) remains unknown. Therefore, we aimed to validate and compare

90: METHODS OF ESTIMATING PRETEST PROBABILITY IN PRIMARY CARE SETTING [PDF]

BMJ Open, 2017
Proper estimating of pretest probability (PTP) by primary care physicians is the main precondition for applying Evidence Based Medicine in clinical setting. PTP of a patient is not equal to the prevalence of the disease. Proper estimation of PTP depends on a valid history taking, physical examination and simple tests like urine analysis. In this review,

Ankle Brachial Index in Relation to Pretest Probability Stratification of Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal
Background: Globally, coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to be a major cause of morbidity and death. A straightforward, non-invasive diagnostic method mostly used to identify peripheral artery disease (PAD), the ankle-brachial index (ABI) has drawn ...
