Abstract: The occurrence of VTE is generally triggered by a confluence of environmental and constitutional risk factors. Environmental risk factors for thrombosis include trauma, surgery, or immobility. Therefore the early diagnosis of this condition is very important in primary care.
Objective: to assess the possibility of the diagnostic tests used for suspected pulmonary embolism, DVT in Primary care.
Method: We searched literature-indexing systems to identify the articles relevant to our review, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews through the period of July 2016.
Conclusion: The accuracy of tests for suspected deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism varies greatly, but it is possible to estimate the range of pretest probabilities over which each test or strategy can confirm or rule out pulmonary embolism.
Keywords: VTE, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Environmental risk factors.
