ER trial aims to cut unnecessary scans for lung clots

NCT ID NCT06015529

Summary

This study tested a new diagnostic tool called the 4PEPS score to help emergency doctors decide when a patient with suspected pulmonary embolism (a dangerous lung blood clot) really needs a CT scan. Over 3,000 patients across 20 emergency departments were involved. The goal was to see if using this score could safely reduce the number of unnecessary scans, which expose patients to radiation and add cost, without missing dangerous clots.
