Zusammenfassung: | Background
The diagnostic strategy for pulmonary embolism (PE) includes a D‐dimer test when PE probability is low or intermediate, but false‐positive D‐dimer results are frequent and can result in an unnecessary computed tomography pulmonary angiogram. The PE rule‐out criteria (PERC) rule excludes PE without D‐dimer testing when pretest probability is |
