Abstract Objective To evaluate the value of revised Geneva scores and Daniel ECG scores, alone or in combina-tion, in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods The revised Geneva scores and Daniel ECG scores were ob-tained and pulmonary CTA was performed in 41 cases with suspected PE. ROC was used to evaluate the value of these two scores in diagnosis of PE. Results PE was confirmed by pulmonary CTA in 28 cases. The revised Geneva score 5 points predicted PE with a sensitivity of 85.7%and specificity of 92.3%.Daniel ECG score 2 points predicted PE with a sensitivity of 83.1% and specificity of 76.9%.The area under curve (AUC)of the ROC curve of the revised Geneva scores and Daniel ECG scores were 0.870 ±0.060 (95%CI:0.752~0.987) (P<0.001) and 0.875 ±0.065 (95%CI:0.748~1.002)(P=0.002), respectively. Conclusion The revised Geneva scores and Daniel ECG scores are beneficial to predict PE. The sensitivity for PE diagnosis can be improved by the two methods combined.
