1.
Detection of acute pulmonary embolism using native repeated magnetic resonance imaging acquisitions under free-breathing and without respiratory or cardiac gating. A diagnostic accuracy study
Medson K, Vargas Paris R, Fyrdahl A, Wiklund P, Nyren S, Westerlund E, et al.
Eur J Radiol Open . 2024 Mar; 12:100558. PMID: 38482518
Objectives: Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is the gold standard diagnostic method for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), but it has its drawbacks, including exposure to ionizing radiation and...

Cost-Effectiveness of Performing Reference Ultrasonography in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis
de Jong C, van den Hout W, van Dijk C, Heim N, van Dam L, Dronkers C, et al.
Thromb Haemost . 2023 Nov; 124(6):557-567. PMID: 37984402
Background:  The diagnosis of recurrent ipsilateral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with compression ultrasonography (CUS) may be hindered by residual intravascular obstruction after previous DVT. A reference CUS, an additional ultrasound...

Swedish obstetric thromboprophylaxis guideline: background and update
Lindqvist P, Westerlund E, Hellgren M
J Obstet Gynaecol . 2023 Aug; 43(2):2241527. PMID: 37551130
Risk estimation concerning venous thromboembolism (VTE) and thromboprophylaxis for those at risk is routine in pregnancy. For 20 years, Swedish obstetricians have followed a weighted-risk algorithm guideline for risk estimation,...

Neutrophil extracellular trap formation is an independent risk factor for occult cancer in patients presenting with venous thromboembolism
Rosell A, Gautam G, Wannberg F, Ng H, Gry H, Vingback E, et al.
J Thromb Haemost . 2023 Jul; 21(11):3166-3174. PMID: 37479035
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly unprovoked VTE, is associated with occult cancer. The optimal screening regimen remains controversial. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are implicated in cancer-associated thrombosis, and elevated biomarkers...

Inhaled ciclesonide in adults hospitalised with COVID-19: a randomised controlled open-label trial (HALT COVID-19)
Brodin D, Tornhammar P, Ueda P, Krifors A, Westerlund E, Athlin S, et al.
BMJ Open . 2023 Feb; 13(2):e064374. PMID: 36813503
Objective: To assess the efficacy of inhaled ciclesonide in reducing the duration of oxygen therapy (an indicator of time to clinical improvement) among adults hospitalised with COVID-19. Design: Multicentre, randomised,...

Prolonged electrocardiography registration does not lead to increased diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in pulmonary embolism patients, but sex affects generic health-related quality of life: Findings from a randomized clinical trial
Westerlund E, Fili A, Svennberg E
Medicine (Baltimore) . 2022 Dec; 101(48):e32197. PMID: 36482616
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is commonly detected in patients after embolic stroke....

Feasibility of monitoring the resolution of acute pulmonary embolism with non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging at one day, one week, one, three, and six months
Medson K, Westerlund E, Vargas Paris R, Fyrdahl A, Vidovic N, Nyren S, et al.
Acta Radiol . 2022 Dec; 64(4):1371-1380. PMID: 36461762
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cause of death with an incidence of approximately 1-2 cases per 1000 inhabitants in Europe and the United States. Treatment for PE is...
8.
Comparing 'clinical hunch' against clinical decision support systems (PERC rule, wells score, revised Geneva score and YEARS criteria) in the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism
Medson K, Yu J, Liwenborg L, Lindholm P, Westerlund E
BMC Pulm Med . 2022 Nov; 22(1):432. PMID: 36414971
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially life-threatening condition. Since it is considered a 'do not miss' diagnosis, PE tends to be over-investigated beyond the evidence-based clinical decision...

Development of an international standard set of outcome measures for patients with venous thromboembolism: an International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement consensus recommendation
Gwozdz A, de Jong C, Fialho L, Likitabhorn T, Sossi F, Jaber P, et al.
Lancet Haematol . 2022 Sep; 9(9):e698-e706. PMID: 36055334
The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement assembled an international working group of venous thromboembolism experts and patient representatives to develop a standardised minimum set of outcomes and outcome measurements...

Detection of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis by magnetic resonance non-contrast thrombus imaging
van Dam L, Dronkers C, Gautam G, Eckerbom A, Ghanima W, Gleditsch J, et al.
J Thromb Haemost . 2021 May; 19(8):1973-1980. PMID: 34018662
Background: Compression ultrasonography (CUS) is the first-line imaging test for diagnosing upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT), but often yields inconclusive test results. Contrast venography is still considered the diagnostic...
