New diagnostic tool aims to unravel the mystery of lingering symptoms after a lung clot

NCT ID NCT05568927

Summary

This study tested a new step-by-step diagnostic method called SEARCH. Its goal was to help doctors accurately figure out why some people continue to have breathing problems long after they've had a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lung). Researchers used the method to categorize 150 patients based on their symptoms and test results to see if different doctors would agree on the diagnosis and if that diagnosis stayed the same over six months.
