TL;DR: Although there may be unmeasured confounders that limit intergroup comparison, patients receiving clopidogrel have a significantly higher prevalence of immediate traumatic intracranial hemorrhage compared with patients receiving warfarin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of an integrated electronic clinical decision support system (CDSS) to facilitate risk stratification and decision making at the site of care for patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

TL;DR: The authors were unable to identify a subset of patients with mild head trauma and preinjury warfarin or clopidogrel use who are at low risk for immediate tICH, and the recommendation is for urgent and liberal cranial CT imaging in this patient population, even in the absence of clinical findings.

TL;DR: The clinical rule demonstrated useful Bayesian test characteristics when retrospectively validated against this patient cohort and failed to identify 20% of subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with a negative cranial CT result.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that home discharges would increase at intervention sites (compared with concurrent control sites) without an increase in PE-related return visits within 5 days or adverse outcomes within 30 days.
