Parkland Orthopedic 1.02.02

This application is built on data gathered from a comprehensive study involving 38,000 patients who were hospitalized at a major trauma center in the United States. Through the development of a standardized multivariate logistic regression model, the application aims to anticipate the likelihood of a patient experiencing a pulmonary embolism (PE) during their hospital stay. By utilizing the formulated model, this application assesses the risk of PE occurrence for each trauma patient. It is important to note that while a high-risk score does not definitively indicate that an individual will develop a PE, conversely, a low-risk score does not guarantee immunity from experiencing a PE. The PE probability score, coupled with risk classification into high, medium, and low categories, serves as an approximation of PE risk tailored to individual patient attributes provided in the application. Therefore, it is crucial to clarify that this application should not be misconstrued as a tool for diagnosis or prognosis but rather as guidance for understanding the potential risk associated with developing a PE.
