Effect of a Global Simplified Strategy on Thromboembolic Events in Emergency Department Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Embolism

"The intervention will be the patient's management with a simplified global strategy. Whether PE is the most likely diagnostic will be assessed by the unstructured implicit clinician's estimation.~In patient with a clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism: DDimer testing will be performed.~If the likelihood of PE is low (PE is not the most likely diagnosis), then threshold for DDimer testing will be 1000 ng/ml. If the likelihood of PE is high (PE is the most likely diagnosis), then the age-adjusted DDimer threshold will be applied."
