Rationale: An objective and simple prognostic model for patients with pulmonary embolism
could be helpful in guiding initial intensity of treatment. Objectives: To develop a clinical …

Background Although practice guidelines recommend outpatient care for selected,
haemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism, most treatment is presently …

PURPOSE: We assessed the performance of 3 validated prognostic rules in predicting 30-

Objective We investigated risk factors for Type II (n= 176) vs. Type I (n= 1,576) endometrial

Background Although understanding the processes of care and medical outcomes for
patients with community-acquired pneumonia is instrumental to improving the quality and …

Aims To validate a model for quantifying the prognosis of patients with pulmonary embolism
(PE). The model was previously derived from 10 534 US patients. Methods and results We …

The absence of a universally accepted definition of radiocontrast nephropathy (RCN) has
hampered efforts to characterize effectively the incidence and the clinical significance of this …

OBJECTIVE We compared the short-term efficacy of home telemonitoring coupled with
active medication management by a nurse practitioner with a monthly care coordination …

Background: Despite the development of evidence-based pneumonia guidelines, limited
data exist on the most effective means to implement guideline recommendations into clinical …

Background A simple prognostic model could help identify patients with pulmonary
embolism who are at low risk of death and are candidates for outpatient treatment. Methods …
