Overuse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE).    Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...

Comparison of the unstructured clinician gestalt, the wells score, and the revised Geneva score to estimate pretest probability for suspected pulmonary embolism.

STUDY OBJECTIVE The assessment of clinical probability (as low, moderate, or high) with clinical decision rules has become a cornerstone of diagnostic strategy for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism, but little is known about the use of physician gestalt assessment of clinical probability. We evaluate the performance of gestalt assessment for diagnosing pulmonary embolism. METHODS We ...

Comparison of the revised Geneva score with the Wells rule for assessing clinical probability of pulmonary embolism.

BACKGROUND The revised Geneva score, a standardized clinical decision rule in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), was recently developed. The Wells clinical decision is widely used but lacks full standardization, as it includes subjective clinician's judgement. We have compared the performance of the revised Geneva score with the Wells rule, and their usefulness for ruling out PE in combi...

Predictive Accuracy of Revised Geneva Score in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism

Background: Revised Geneva score is a clinical prediction rule used in determining the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism (PE). It has been recently introduced and is independent of the doctor's experience applying the rule. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive accuracy of revised Geneva score in the diagnostic protocol of pulmonary embolism and its role in decreasing the need fo...

Usefulness of Clinical Pre-test Scores for a Correct Diagnostic Pathway in Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Embolism in Emergency Room

Background: Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a disease characterized by not specific signs and symptoms. In Italy, there are about 65,000 cases per year; mortality is about 30% if PE is not identified and decreases to 2-8% if PE is recognized and treated. International guidelines include several strategies for diagnosing the disease with confidence. The diagnostic pathway includes a clinical approach...
