TL;DR: Strong recommendations apply to most patients, whereas weak recommendations are sensitive to differences among patients, including their preferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antithrombotic Therapy for VTE Disease: CHEST Guideline and Expert Panel Report

TL;DR: Recommendations on 12 topics that were in the 9th edition of these guidelines are updated, and 3 new topics are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Derivation of a Simple Clinical Model to Categorize Patients Probability of Pulmonary Embolism: Increasing the Models Utility with the SimpliRED D-dimer
Philip S. Wells,David Anderson,Marc A. Rodger,Jeffrey S. Ginsberg,Clive Kearon,Michael Gent,Alexander G.G. Turpie,Janis Bormanis,Jeffrey I. Weitz,Michael Chamberlain,Dennis Bowie,David Barnes,Jack Hirsh +12 more
TL;DR: The combination of a score < or =4.0 by the authors' simple clinical prediction rule and a negative SimpliRED D-Dimer result may safely exclude PE in a large proportion of patients with suspected PE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of D-Dimer in the Diagnosis of Suspected Deep-Vein Thrombosis
Philip S. Wells,David Anderson,Marc A. Rodger,Melissa A. Forgie,Clive Kearon,Jonathan Dreyer,George Kovacs,Michael Mitchell,Bernard Lewandowski,Michael J. Kovacs +9 more
TL;DR: Deep-vein thrombosis can be ruled out in a patient who is judged clinically unlikely to have deep-veIn thromBosis and who has a negative D-dimer test, and ultrasound testing can be safely omitted in such patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excluding pulmonary embolism at the bedside without diagnostic imaging: management of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism presenting to the emergency department by using a simple clinical model and d-dimer.
Philip S. Wells,David Anderson,Marc A. Rodger,Ian G. Stiell,Jonathan Dreyer,David Barnes,Melissa A. Forgie,George Kovacs,John W. Ward,Michael J. Kovacs +9 more
TL;DR: A diagnostic algorithm based on a simple model and a non-enzyme-linked immunosorbent d-dimer assay was used in patients presenting to emergency departments with suspected pulmonary embolism to demonstrate the safety of excluding the diagnosis of pulmonary emblism in an emergency department using diagnostic algorithms based on pretest probability and d-Dimer assay results.
