Associations between Presence of Relevant Information in Referrals to Radiology and Prevalence Rates in Patients with Suspected Pulmonary Embolism.

Hedner, Charlotta LU ; Sundgren, Pia LU orcid and Kelly, Aine Marie (2013) In Academic Radiology 20(9). p.1115-1121
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess if the presence of information including the pretest probability (Wells score), other known risk factors, and symptoms given on referrals for computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography correlated with prevalence rates for pulmonary embolism (PE). Also, to evaluate for differences between a university and a regional hospital setting regarding patient characteristics, amount of relevant information provided on referrals, and prevalence rates for pulmonary embolism.
