Patients with active cancer and suspected acute PE were recruited from emergency departments or medical units in 21 hospitals in the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and Spain.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interventions<\/jats:title>\n Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive diagnostic management by the YEARS algorithm (n\u2009=\u2009352)\u2014consisting of assessing YEARS items, D-dimer levels, and performing risk-dependent CTPA\u2014or by CTPA only (n\u2009=\u2009346).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n The primary outcome was centrally adjudicated symptomatic venous thromboembolism or (possible) PE-related death within 90 days after ruling out PE at baseline, assessed in a per-protocol noninferiority analysis with a 2.6% margin for the upper bound of a 1-sided 99.9% CI. The key secondary outcome was the proportion of negative CTPA results at baseline, assessed in a superiority analysis.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 698 patients were randomized (median age, 65 years [IQR, 56-72 years], 422 female [60%]), and 104 patients (15%) had PE diagnosed at baseline. One patient was lost to follow-up. Of those in whom PE was considered excluded, 5 of 282 patients (1.8%) in the per-protocol YEARS group vs 15 of 273 patients (5.5%) in the per-protocol CTPA-only group had a primary outcome (absolute risk difference, \u22123.7%; 99.9% CI, \u22128.8% to 1.4%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20093.4\u2009\u00d7\u200910\n \u22125<\/jats:sup>\n for noninferiority). In the intention-to-diagnosis analysis, the absolute risk difference between the YEARS algorithm and CTPA only was \u22122.6% (99.9% CI, \u22127.5% to 2.4%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20095.9\u2009\u00d7\u200910\n \u22124<\/jats:sup>\n for noninferiority). Diagnostic management of PE was carried out for 77 of 352 patients (22%) in the YEARS group without CTPA. No difference in the proportion of negative CTPA (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.93) was observed between the groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n In patients with cancer and suspected PE, a diagnostic strategy using the YEARS diagnostic algorithm was as safe as using CTPA only, thus, obviating the need to perform CTPA in 22% of patients.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Trial Registration<\/jats:title>\n \n ccmo.nl Identifier:\n NL-OMON52383<\/jats:ext-link>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2026.10676","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,12]],"date-time":"2026-07-12T08:30:17Z","timestamp":1783845017000},"page":"655","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["YEARS Algorithm for Diagnosis of Suspected Pulmonary Embolism in Patients With Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"336","author":[{"given":"Bram","family":"Akerboom","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine\u2013Thrombosis and Hemostasis, Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily S.
