(CT) angiography in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) has dramatically increased
as a consequence of major advances in CT technology. The question now no longer …

Objectives To assess the likelihood ratios of diagnostic strategies for pulmonary embolism
and to determine their clinical application according to pretest probability. Data sources …

Background The optimal duration of oral anticoagulation in patients with idiopathic venous
thromboembolism is uncertain. Testing of d-dimer levels may play a role in the assessment …

Background We aimed to determine the frequency and predictors of exercise limitation after
pulmonary embolism (PE) and to assess its association with health-related quality of life …

Objective: Critically ill patients may be at high risk of venous thromboembolism. The
objective was to determine the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for proximal lower …

Background: International guidelines include several strategies for diagnosing pulmonary
embolism with confidence, but little is known about how these guidelines are implemented …

Background We aimed to evaluate health-related quality of life (QOL), dyspnea, and
functional exercise capacity during the year following the diagnosis of a first episode of …

The optimal duration of anticoagulation in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) is
uncertain. We investigated whether persistently negative D-dimers in patients with vein …

Background: It may be safe to omit additional diagnostic testing in selected patients with
suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) who have a negative d-dimer test, but this approach …

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) consists of two related conditions: pulmonary embolism
(PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Objective testing for VTE is crucial because the …
