Pulmonary Embolism Risk by Pisa Study (without chest x-ray)

Input

Age Range
Sex
Clinical Factors

 

Results

Important: Inputs must be complete to perform calculation.
Factor Sum
Risk
Decimal Precision

 

Data action

     
 
Include literature references: Yes   No

Notes

  • The Cor pulmonale on EKG term can be checked if there is evidence of S1Q3T3, S1S2S3, negative right chest T waves, right bundle branch block (transient), or pseudoinfarction.

Equations used


FactorSum = AgeRange + Sex + ClinicalFactors
 

Risk = 100 / (1 + e(3.43-FactorSum))
 

Calculation details and variables

  • Equation parameters such as Age Range, have two or more discrete values that may be used in the calculation. The numbers in the parentheses, e.g. (0), represent the values that will be used.
