3-year quality of life, functional performance, and long-term survival after acute pulmonary embolism; A prospective study.

ABSTRACT: Our prospective study investigates the 3-year trajectory of disease-specific quality of life (QoL) using the PEmb-QoL questionnaire, functional performance via 6-min walk tests, and the 5-year survival following acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and explores their association with patient demographics and clinical characteristics. We highlight that PE-specific QoL improves over time despite no significant changes in cardiopulmonary performance.
