Clinical Decision Rules for Excluding Pulmonary Embolism: A Meta-analysis

Abstract: Clinical decision rules and gestalt can safely exclude PE when combined with sensitive d-dimer testing. The authors recommend standardized rules because gestalt has lower specificity, but the choice of a particular rule and d-dimer test depend on both prevalence and setting.

“…26 Several meta-analyses performed in patients with acute PE have documented that different CPRs have similar accuracy in assessing clinical probability of PE, but are not totally equivalent. 17,26 In high prevalence situation for PE, a rule with higher specificity is desirable, whereas in a lower prevalence situation, a rule with higher sensitivity is advisable.…”
