Our strategy permitted a non-invasive diagnosis or exclusion of pulmonary embolism in 83% of the cases (95% confidence interval: 79%-86%), and appeared to be safe... - Does this patient have pulmonary embolism?Sanjeev D Chunilal
Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
JAMA 290:2849-58. 2003..We advocate the use of a clinical prediction rule because it has shown to be accurate and can be used by less-experienced clinicians... - Comparison of 3 clinical models for predicting the probability of pulmonary embolismMassimo Miniati
