In the diagnostic work-up for DVT what is the LR+ for
Ultrasonography?
Impedance plethysmography?
What are the corresponding LR+ values in asymptomatic people? c, d
Reformulate the assertion that PE is found in 90% of patients with a high
probability scan with normal ventilation? (ie, as sensitivity, specificity, positive
predictive value, etc)
Reformulate "pulmonary arteriography should be performed if testing for DVT
is negative, because more than 10% of these patients demonstrated a PE when arteriography
is performed."
Restate the concepts in the last paragraph using Bayes' theorem.
