Background: Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and simplified PESI (sPESI) methods are used in the evaluation of patients with suspected acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).
Objectives: This study aimed to provide a rapid mortality risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) immediately after admission without relying on laboratory data by using quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA), a three-parameter scoring system with proven efficiency used for swift prediction of organ dysfunction, and compare it with Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and simplified PESI (sPESI).
Methods: This study included outpatients and inpatients diagnosed with acute PTE in our clinic and whose PESI, sPESI and qSOFA scores were calculated for early mortality risk classification.
