The importance of clinical probability assessment in interpreting a normal d-dimer in patients with suspected pulmonary embolismNadine S Gibson
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academical Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Chest 134:789-93. 2008..The objective of this study was to investigate how often the d-dimer test fails when clinical probability is not taken into account...
Prognostic value of echocardiography and spiral computed tomography in patients with pulmonary embolismNadine S Gibson
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academical Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Curr Opin Pulm Med 11:380-4. 2005..The association between right ventricular dysfunction and outcome of pulmonary embolism was evaluated for studies using echocardiography, spiral computed tomography, or both to detect right ventricular dysfunction...
Further validation and simplification of the Wells clinical decision rule in pulmonary embolismNadine S Gibson
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academical Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam
Thromb Haemost 99:229-34. 2008..This study further validates the diagnostic utility of the Wells rule and indicates that the scoring system can be simplified to one point for each variable...
Safety and sensitivity of two ultrasound strategies in patients with clinically suspected deep venous thrombosis: a prospective management studyN S Gibson
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
J Thromb Haemost 7:2035-41. 2009..Therefore, we compared the safety and feasibility of two diagnostic ultrasound strategies, involving rapid and complete compression ultrasound (CUS) examination...
Application of a decision rule and a D-dimer assay in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolismNadine S Gibson
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academical Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thromb Haemost 103:849-54. 2010..Furthermore, the knowledge of an abnormal D-dimer test result before seeing the patient leads to a higher CDR score. Physicians should therefore first examine patients before taking note of the D-dimer test result...
Validity and clinical utility of the simplified Wells rule for assessing clinical probability for the exclusion of pulmonary embolismRenee A Douma
Department of Vascular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, P O Box 22600, 1100 DD Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thromb Haemost 101:197-200. 2009..In this external retrospective validation study, the simplified Wells rule appeared to be safe and clinically useful, although prospective validation remains necessary. Simplification of the Wells rule may enhance the applicability...
Active search for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension does not appear indicated after acute pulmonary embolismSulaiman Surie
Department of Pulmonology, Academical Medical Center Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Thromb Res 125:e202-5. 2010..The incidence of CTEPH after an acute pulmonary embolism (PE) appears to be much higher than previously thought. Systematic follow-up of patients after PE might increase the number of diagnosed CTEPH patients...
