Why the study?

Does a simple clinical prediction rule combined with D-dimer testing safely exclude pulmonary embolism in patients with suspected PE?

Population

Patients with suspected pulmonary embolism participating in a prospective cohort study

Design

Cohort

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

May support PE rule-out in suspected cases; leaves open need for prospective trials before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does a simple clinical prediction rule combined with D-dimer testing safely exclude pulmonary embolism in patients with suspected PE?

Population

Patients with suspected pulmonary embolism participating in a prospective cohort study

Intervention

Simple clinical prediction rule (scoring system based on 7 variables) combined with SimpliRED D-dimer testing

Outcome

Proportion of patients with pulmonary embolism in each probability category, specifically those with PE unlikely and a negative D-dimer

A simple clinical prediction rule combined with a negative D-dimer result can safely exclude pulmonary embolism in nearly half of patients with suspected PE.
