What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

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.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
