Clinical Prediction Rule of Aujesky et al for Identifying the Level of Risk for a Patient with a Pulmonary Embolism
Purpose: | To identify a patient with an acute pulmonary embolism (PE) at high risk for 30 day mortality and complications using the prediction rule of Aujesky et al. |

Objective: | risk factors, severity, prognosis, stage, complications |
ICD-10: | C00-C14, C15-C26, C30-C39, C40-C41, C43-C44, C45-C49, C50-C50, C51-C58, C60-C63, C64-C68, C69-C72, C73-C75, C76-C80, C81-C96, C97-C97, I20-I25, I26, J40-J47, N00-N08, N10-N16, N17-N19 |
Description: | Aujesky et al developed a clinical prediction rule for distinguishing low from high risk patients with a pulmonary embolism. This can help identify patients who may benefit from more aggressive management.
