New methods could reduce unnecessary lung scans in ERs

NCT ID NCT07313501

Summary

This study is looking at two different methods (called PERC score and YEARS algorithm) to help doctors diagnose pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs) more efficiently in emergency departments. Researchers will review medical records of 500 adults who came to a French hospital emergency room with suspected lung clots. The goal is to see if these methods could reduce unnecessary CT scans while still accurately identifying patients who need treatment.
