The Prognostic Value of C-Reactive Protein/Albumin Ratio in Acute Pulmonary Embolism.

Background: Serum C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) has been defined as an inflammation-based prognostic marker. We evaluated the association and prognostic value of CRP/albumin ratio in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).

Methods: A total of 256 patients with acute PE who were hospitalized between March 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.
