Description
Emily Martens and a large team wrote a 2026 study on ruling out lung clots in people who had a clot before. Two rule-based methods pair a blood test with a short checklist. Proof of how well they work after a prior clot is scarce. The team tested both within a larger care study.
Close to two hundred outpatients with suspected lung clots were in the check. About a third did have a clot at the start. Use of one method would have spared scans for near half the group. A small share of cleared patients later proved to have a clot. Rates were higher in those not on blood thinners.
