Pulmonary embolism
PESI (original)
Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (Aujesky 2005): age in years plus points for sex, cancer, heart failure, lung disease, heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, mental status and oxygen saturation. Classes I–II are low risk and suitable for outpatient treatment (OTPE trial); classes III–V are intermediate risk at least. sPESI is the simplified version.
