ER study tests smarter way to diagnose dangerous blood clots
NCT ID NCT07313501
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether two simple checklists (PERC and YEARS) can safely reduce the number of CT scans needed to diagnose pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Researchers will review the records of 500 adults who came to the emergency room with suspected clots. If the checklists work, they could speed up diagnosis and cut down on unnecessary imaging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that using these simple checklists can safely reduce the number of CT scans and waiting times for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study at one hospital, so results may not apply everywhere. The checklists might miss some cases of pulmonary embolism.
