TLDR
A new prediction rule is derived that is entirely based on clinical variables and is independent of physicians' implicit judgment by using a large multicenter cohort of patients admitted to the emergency department for clinically suspected pulmonary embolism.
Abstract: 
To improve diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), the authors constructed a simple scoring system to estimate the probability of PE. Clinical predictors included age, previous venous thromboembolism...

TL;DR: Non-thrombotic PE does not represent a distinct clinical syndrome but may be due to a variety of embolic materials and result in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, making the diagnosis difficult.

Prediction of Creatinine Clearance from Serum Creatinine

Donald W. Cockcroft, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1976 - 
TL;DR: A formula has been developed to predict Creatinine clearance from serum creatinine (Scr) in adult males: Ccr = (140 – age) (wt kg)/72 × Scr (mg/100ml) (15% less i).

Value of the ventilation/perfusion scan in acute pulmonary embolism. Results of the prospective investigation of pulmonary embolism diagnosis (PIOPED).

Pioped Investigators
- 23 May 1990 - 
TL;DR: Follow-up and angiography together suggest pulmonary embolism occurred among 12% of patients with low-probability scans, and clinical assessment combined with the ventilation/perfusion scan established the diagnosis or exclusion of pulmonary emblism only for a minority of patients--those with clear and concordant clinical and ventilation-perfusions scan findings.

Philip S. Wells, +12 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
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.

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, +9 more
- 17 Jul 2001 - 
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.
