Why the study?
Do clinical examination features and the AHA ADD risk score accurately identify acute aortic dissection?
Do clinical examination features and the AHA ADD risk score accurately identify acute aortic dissection?
Clinical gestalt combining high- and low-risk features, such as the AHA ADD score, is useful for guiding the investigation of acute aortic dissection.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
A low AHA ADD score may reduce unnecessary CT angiography; extends validation of clinical decision rules for suspected aortic dissection.
Ohle et al. (2017) studied this question.
