Assessment of clinical probability scores for pulmonary embolism diagnosis during pregnancy and postpartum in women with a history of venous thromboembolism: a Highlow ancillary study
The 3 pretest clinical scores have modest discriminatory power, during both the antepartum and the postpartum period, to classify patients into 3 categories of pretest clinical probability. Further work is required to develop clinical-decision tools to exclude imaging in pregnant women with prior VTE with suspected PE in pregnancy.
