Prospective multicenter evaluation of the pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria.
BACKGROUND Over-investigation of low-risk patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a growing problem. The combination of gestalt estimate of low suspicion for PE, together with the PE rule-out criteria [PERC(-): age < 50 years, pulse < 100 beats min(-1), SaO(2) >or= 95%, no hemoptysis, no estrogen use, no surgery/trauma requiring hospitalization within 4 weeks, no prior venous...
متن کاملThe pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) rule does not safely exclude pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC) rule is a clinical diagnostic rule designed to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) without further testing. We sought to externally validate the diagnostic performance of the PERC rule alone and combined with clinical probability assessment based on the revised Geneva score. METHODS The PERC rule was applied retrospectively to consecutive...
متن کاملPulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) in pulmonary embolism--revisited: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVES To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis including all the current studies to assess the accuracy of pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) in ruling out pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS We conducted a comprehensive search of the major databases (Ovid Medline In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Ovid PsycInfo, Ovid Cochrane Central Regis...
متن کاملPulmonary embolism rule-out criteria: a clinical decision rule that works.
www.aafp.org/afp Volume 88, Number 2 ◆ July 15, 2013 Is there a clinical prediction rule that can reliably exclude the presence of a pulmonary embolism (PE), and thus avoid the use of computed tomography (CT) in patients believed to be at very low risk? Bob: Let’s start with a case. A 42-year-old woman presents to your clinic saying that she awoke that morning with pleuritic right infrascapular...
متن کاملPerformance of the Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (the PERC rule) combined with low clinical probability in high prevalence population.
INTRODUCTION PERC rule was created to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) without further exams, with residual PE risk<2%. Its safety is currently not confirmed in high PE prevalence populations even when combined with low clinical probability assessed by revised Geneva score (RGS). As PERC rule and RGS are 2 similar explicit rules with many redundant criteria, we hypothesized that the combination...
