Prediction Models for Pulmonary Embolism: Current Status & Future Directions

This session explores pulmonary embolism (PE) prediction models, vital for improving diagnosis and treatment. It covers pretest probability methods like the PERC Rule, Wells Criteria, and Geneva Score, alongside prognostic tools such as PESI, Simplified PESI, and Hestia Criteria for severity evaluation. Intermediate-risk models, including the Bova Score and advanced tools like FAST, are also discussed with emphasis on their clinical applicability and limitations. The presentation concludes...
