    2. Hemoptysis
    3. Pulmonary Embolism most likely cause on differential diagnosis
  4. Interpretation
    1. YEARS Score 0 (all criteria negative)
      1. D-Dimer cut-off 1.0
    2. YEARS Score 1-3 (any criteria positive)
      1. D-Dimer cut-off 0.5
  5. Efficacy
    1. Safely and significantly reduces the use of CT Pulmonary Angiography
