TRIAGE Scoring System: Advancing ECG-Based Early Detection of Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

ABSTRACT: BackgroundAcute pulmonary embolism (APE) as a common cardiopulmonary disease is associated with a high mortality rate. Therefore, its rapid and accurate diagnosis remains a medical challenge. The present study aimed at providing a new electrocardiogram (ECG) model for easy and rapid estimation of the probability of APE through ECG findings.MethodThis retrospective study was conducted on 319 patients suspected of APE that were admitted to Shahid Chamran and Al-Zahra Hospitals in Isfahan during 2017-2023. Patients' demographic, clinical, and 16 ECG findings were extracted from their medical records. Other standard criteria such as Wells, Geneva, and Daniel were also calculated.ResultsIn this study, an ECG-predictive model, called TRIAGE score, was proposed comprising three ECG findings inclu
