The importance of clinical prediction models in non-fatal pulmonary embolism: an analysis of the best known clinical scores.
The clinical evaluation in pulmonary embolism (PE) is the first instrument used by practitioners in the management of this potentially fatal pathology. The necessity of develop- ing certain valid and especially affordable practical instruments has led to the emergence of various clinical prediction models. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the main clinical scores, as a diagnostic or a prognostic tool, with their strengths and weaknesses. ⋯ The Vienna Prediction Model is another system for the evaluation of the recurrence in which the level of D-dimers is the main prediction factor. Other scores were evaluated with a statistically low significance. The Geneva and the PESI scores remain the most valuable instruments of diagnosis and clinical prognostic, respectively.
