Adjectival Hyphens
error

"The YEARS criteria are a diagnostic algorithm that determines the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) derived from three items in the Wells score that are most predictive of PE 1. Unlike the Wells score, it uses a variable D-dimer threshold based on clinical pre-test probability. The YEARS criteria are efficient and non-complex when compared to other diagnostic tools for PE, making it useful in clinical practice 1."

Line 1:311 · 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'.

"Due to the binary D-dimer threshold used in YEARS, there is an absolute reduction in CTPAs performed across all ages by 14% when compared to the Wells criteria 1,2, and by 8.7% when compared to age-adjusted 1. This is a benefit for younger patients in whom exposure to unnecessary radiation has a more significant lifetime risk 3."

"A pregnancy adapted YEARS criteria is one of the few tools for risk stratification of PE in pregnancy 5-7. It uses the same items and variable D-dimer threshold, with the addition of a compression ultrasonogram in pregnant patients with signs of DVT. If there is evidence of DVT on ultrasound, patients are treated as having a PE without further diagnostic imaging."
