The externally validated READ-PE algorithm identifies PE in English-language reports from CTAs obtained in the ED with high accuracy. This algorithm may be used in the electronic health record to accurately identify PE for research or surveillance. If implemented at other EDs, it should first undergo local validation and may require maintenance over time.
