Standard management
• No CTPA in 20-30% of patients, majority of CTPA still negative for PE
• 3-month VTE risk <1.5%
• Adherence in clinical practice variable• Complexity• Sequential testing
• Consequences• Unrequired CTPA• Higher failure rate

The YEARS algorithm
• Simultaneous assessment:
• D-dimer test in all patients
• Prediction rule of only 3 items of the original Wells • Prediction rule of only 3 items of the original Wells rule, AND
• Variable D-dimer thresholds depending on clinical probability

Conclusions
• The YEARS algorithm safely excludes PE
• Large reduction of CTPA• 14%• Particularly relevant in younger (female) patients
• Highly simplified algorithm• Simultaneous assessment• Only 3 YEARS items• Simultaneous D-dimer test in all patients
• Ready to be used in daily clinical practice
