Use of coronary computed tomography angiography in clinical practice – single centre experience in Switzerland in light of current recommendations based on pretest probability considerations

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019
AIMS OF THE STUDY Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended as a first-line option for the exclusion of coronary artery disease in patients with low to intermediate (15–50%) pretest probability.

Coronary Artery Calcium Score Improves Risk Assessment of Symptomatic Patients in Low-Risk Group Based on Current Guidelines

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: The guidelines for evaluation and diagnosis of stable chest pain (SCP) released by American societies in 2021 (2021 GL) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2019 both recommended the estimation of pretest probability (PTP) by ESC-PTP ...

The utility of pretest probability assessment in patients with clinically suspected venous thromboembolism [PDF]

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2003
The assessment of pretest probability (PTP), with stratification into low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups is an essential initial step in the current diagnostic management of patients with suspected venous thromboembolism (VTE). In combination with additional information, it reduces the need for initial and supplementary imaging, and allows ...

A Model for Pretest Probability of Lymph Node Metastasis From Cutaneous Melanoma [PDF]

American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2000
Although many statistical models have been developed to predict survival in cutaneous melanoma, few predict the end point of regional lymph node metastasis shortly after the diagnosis of melanoma. We used routine clinical and histologic data from 573 patients referred to the Duke University Melanoma Clinic, Durham, NC, during the 1980s and 1990s who ...

Revision of Clinical Pre-Test Probability Scores in Hospitalized Patients with Pulmonary Embolism and SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Background: The need for computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) is based on clinical scores in association with D-dimer measurements.

Where do pretest probabilities come from [PDF]

Evidence Based Medicine, 1999
The attending physician teaching in an outpatient clinic listens while a house officer presents the history of a patient in follow-up. She is 57 years old and presents with 3 week of dizziness, which she describes as a lightheaded feeling when standing up to walk. She describes no sensation of movement of either head or room.

Pre-test Probability Scores in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Advanced Lung Health
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder that significantly impacts both quality of life and cardiovascular health. Various pretest probability scores are employed to identify high-risk patients before formal diagnostic ...

Could our pretest probabilities become evidence based? [PDF]

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2003
We sought to measure the proportion of patients on our clinical service who presented with clinical problems for which research evidence was available to inform estimates of pretest probability. We also aimed to discern whether any of this evidence was of sufficient quality that we would want to use it for clinical decision making.Prospective ...
