Background: Pulmonary embolism is associated with high mortality in patients with hypotension or circulatory shock. However, the association between some clinical variables and mortality is still unclear in hemodynamically stable patients.
Objectives: To derive an in-hospital mortality risk stratification model in hemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism.
Introduction: The clinical profile as well as the therapeutic and diagnostic strategies for patients with pulmonary embolism, describes clinical practice in the approach of the disease. Such information, scarce in national studies, enables a better understanding of pulmonary embolism.
Methods: A multicenter trial included 727 patients with pulmonary embolism who were admitted in emergency or intensive care unit.
