Development and validation of a novel risk assessment model to estimate the probability of pulmonary embolism in postoperative patients

Abstract Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a leading cause of mortality in postoperative patients. Numerous PE prevention clinical practice guidelines are available but not consistently implemented. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel risk assessment model to assess the risk of PE in postopera...
