Wells Rule and D-Dimer Testing to Rule Out Pulmonary Embolism A Systematic Review and Individual-Patient Data Meta-analysis
Nick van Es,Tom van der Hulle,Josien van Es,Paul L. den Exter,Renée A. Douma,Robbert J. Goekoop,Inge C. M. Mos,Javier Galipienzo,Pieter W. Kamphuisen,Menno V. Huisman,Frederikus A. Klok,Harry R. Büller,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt +12 more
TL;DR: A systematic review and IPD meta-analysis combining patient-level data from 6 large, prospective outcome studies in which diagnostic management of clinically suspected PE had been guided by the Wells rule and d-dimer testing is done.

Wells Rule and D-Dimer Testing to Rule Out Pulmonary Embolism
Nick van Es,Tom van der Hulle,Josien van Es,Paul L. den Exter,Renée A. Douma,Robbert J. Goekoop,Inge C. M. Mos,Javier Galipienzo,Pieter W. Kamphuisen,Menno V. Huisman,Frederikus A. Klok,Harry R. Büller,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the use of the Wells rule with D-dimer testing to make decisions about imaging in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism is presented. But this review is limited to the case of lung cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Safety of excluding acute pulmonary embolism based on an unlikely clinical probability by the Wells rule and normal D-dimer concentration: A meta-analysis
S.M. Pasha,Frederikus A. Klok,J.D. Snoep,Inge C. M. Mos,Robbert J. Goekoop,Marc A. Rodger,M.V. Huisman +6 more
TL;DR: Acute PE can be safely excluded in patients with clinically suspected acute PE who have an "unlikely" probability and a negative D-dimer test and anticoagulant treatment can be withheld, and there is no need for additional radiological tests in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simple and safe exclusion of pulmonary embolism in outpatients using quantitative D-dimer and Wells' simplified decision rule.
Robbert J. Goekoop,Neeltje Steeghs,René W L M Niessen,G.J.P.M. Jonkers,Hans Dik,Ad Castel,Lies Werker-van Gelder,L. Tom Vlasveld,Rik C. J. van Klink,Erwin V. Planken,Menno V. Huisman +10 more
TL;DR: This study prospectively established the safety of a combination of a dichotomized clinical decision rule and D-dimer test in ruling out PE, and proved highly efficient, since more than 50% of patients could be managed without the need for more invasive and expensive tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
PO-07 - Excluding pulmonary embolism in cancer patients using the Wells rule and age-adjusted D-dimer testing: an individual patient data meta-analysis
N. van Es,T. van der Hulle,J. Van Es,P.L. den Exter,R. A. Douma,Robbert J. Goekoop,Inge C. M. Mos,Joe G.N. Garcia,Pieter Willem Kamphuisen,Menno V. Huisman,Frederikus A. Klok,H.R. Büller,Patrick M.M. Bossuyt +12 more
TL;DR: Among cancer patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism, imaging and anticoagulant treatment can be withheld in 1 out of every 8 patients by the original Wells rule and age-adjusted D-dimer testing.
