It provides individual probability estimates with a 95% confidence interval, aiding in decision-making for nonoperative treatment.

Patients who needed emergency general surgery within 60 days of a pulmonary embolism had more major complications than those operated on later, in a national database study.
Among 3,785 patients who had emergency general surgery after acute pulmonary embolism, those operated on at least 60 days later had markedly fewer major adverse events (adjusted OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.37–0.55).
After major emergency abdominal surgery, patients who develop lung complications face much higher death risk, most sharply in the first days.
