Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The Geneva score is a clinical decision rule used to estimate the pre-test probability of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients in which this diagnosis was considered. The criteria were originally published by the clinical team of the Geneva University Hospital in 2001 1, and revised and simplified in 2006 2. A potential advantage of its utilisation in comparison to the Wells criteria is the absence of an enumerated criterion regarding an individual clinician's gestalt, which may allow a greater degree of standardisation 3,4."

Line 1:94 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pre-test'.
