Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The Wells criteria for pulmonary embolism is a risk stratification score and clinical decision rule to estimate the probability for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients in which history and examination suggests acute PE is a diagnostic possibility. It provides a pre-test probability which, if deemed unlikely, can then be used in conjunction with a negative D-dimer to rule out PE avoiding imaging 1."

Line 1:320 · 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'.
