Underuse of risk assessment and overuse of computed tomography pulmonary angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Internal Medicine Journal"
DOI: 10.1111/imj.13524
Abstract: Evidence suggests the potential overuse of computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in the absence of consistent use of pre‐test clinical prediction rules and D‐dimer assays. read more here.

Clinical Predictors of Pulmonary Embolism for Inpatients: Are Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms being requested appropriately?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Internal medicine journal"
DOI: 10.1111/imj.15696
Abstract: BACKGROUND The heterogeneity of inpatient pulmonary embolism (PE) presentations may lead to Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms (CTPAs) being over requested. Current clinical predictors for PE, including Wells criteria and Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC), have… read more here.
