- ESC Guidelines on the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism (2014, background): “In outcome studies, those assays proved safe in ruling out PE in PE-unlikely patients as well as in patients with a low clinical probability.(99,100,105) Their safety in ruling out PE has not been established in the intermediate clinical probability category.”

(2014, neutral): “False-negative results of MDCT have been reported in patients with a high clinical probability of PE;(134) however, this situation is infrequent, and the three-month thromboembolic risk was low in these cases.(99) Therefore, both the”
