An Observational Study About Adverse Outcomes in Acute Pulmonary Embolism Patients

March 8, 2026 updated by: YIZHUO GAO, Shengjing Hospital
This multi-center retrospective study collected clinical, laboratory, and CT pulmonary angiography parameters with acute pulmonary embolism patients from admission to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days after admission into hospital.

Study Overview

Status

Active, not recruiting

Detailed Description

This multi-center retrospective study collected clinical, laboratory, and CT pulmonary angiography parameters with acute pulmonary embolism patients from admission to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days after admission into hospital.

Eligible patients were collected to develop and evaluate a simple predictive model for predicting the adverse outcomes. The discriminatory power was evaluated by comparing the nomogram to the established risk stratification systems. The consistency of the nomogram was evaluated using the validation cohort.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse outcomes
Time Frame: 30 days
The endpoints of deterioration in this study were defined as the occurrence of any adverse clinical outcomes from medical records and follow-up within 30 days of admission such as death, mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the need for life-saving vasopressor or reperfusion treatment .In each centre, the researchers for evaluating endpoints were blind to collect and to measure study parameters.
30 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adverse outcomes
Time Frame: 2 years
The endpoints of deterioration in this study were defined as the occurrence of any adverse clinical outcomes from medical records and follow-up within 2 years of admission such as death, mechanical ventilation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the need for life-saving vasopressor or reperfusion treatment .In each centre, the researchers for evaluating endpoints were blind to collect and to measure study parameters.
