The diagnosis yield from the five decision groups (clinical hunch and four CDSS) was as follows—clinical hunch, 15%; PERC rule, 18% (6% when bypassed); Wells score, 19% (11% when bypassed); revised Geneva score, 26% (13% when bypassed); and YEARS criteria, 18% (6% when bypassed)...
Wells scores, PERC scores and age-adjusted D-dimers were calculated and compared against CTPA findings. Results Out of 1174 patients who underwent CTPA, 1158 had complete data set. Application of PERC rules to low-risk patients (Wells score 0–1; n = 311, 27%) would have avoided 64 CTP...
Title Comparison of the Wells score and the revised Geneva score as a tool to predict pulmonary embolism in outpatients over 65 years of age. Introduction The incidence and mortality of pulmonary embolism (PE) is high in the elderly. The Wells score (SW) and the revised Geneva score (RGS)...
(P>0.05) .The Kappa value of Wells score and CTPA was 0.45, the conformity was moderate;the Kappa value of YEARS algorithm and CTPA was 0.22, the conformity was passable;the Kappa value of Wells score and YEARS algorithm was 0.11, the conformity was bad.The AUC of Wells score and YEARS...
Wells scorePERC ruleRevised Geneva scoreYEARS criteriaPulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition. Since it is considered a 'do not miss' diagnosis, PE tends to be over-investigated beyond the evidence-based clinical decision support systems (CDSS), which in ...
