ADD-RS 0 — low risk category count

Band: ADD-RS 0 — low risk category count

Interpretation. ADD-RS 0 — low risk category count

Suggested management. No high-risk category markers. Still consider widened mediastinum and overall clinical concern; pursue imaging when suspicion remains.

Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score (ADD-RS): 0 — ADD-RS 0 — low risk category count. Interpretation: ADD-RS 0 — low risk category count What to do: No high-risk category markers. Still consider widened mediastinum and overall clinical concern; pursue imaging when suspicion remains. Inputs: ≥1 high-risk predisposing condition: false; ≥1 high-risk pain feature: false; ≥1 high-risk examination finding: false Source: Rogers AM et al.
