Table 4 Performance characteristics of the Wells score, Geneva score, Well's score + IMA and Geneva score + IMA using the cutoff point of pretest probability, based on s-CTPA as reference standard.
From: The value of ischemia-modified albumin compared with d-dimer in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
