Automated pulmonary embolism risk classification and guideline adherence for computed tomography pulmonary angiography ordering.
The objective of this study was to measure the performance of automated, structured data-only versions of the Wells and revised Geneva risk scores in emergency department encounters during which a computed tomography pulmonary angiography was ordered. The hypothesis was that such an automated method would classify a patient's pulmonary embolism risk with high accuracy compared to manual chart review.
