In-Hospital Pulmonary Thromboembolism Development by Disease at Admission　- A Nationwide, Retrospective, Observational Study Using Japanese Claims Data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prevention of death from in-hospital pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is crucial, but research exploring the risk factors for this event remains limited.

Methods and results

This retrospective analysis evaluated PE data among hospitalized patients, focusing on the diseases present on admission to hospital with the highest number of patients with in-hospital PE events, using the Medical Data Vision database (January 2017-December 2021). Endpoints included the incidence rate of in-hospital PE, patient characteristics, and PE prophylactic procedures. Overall, 4,684,659 patients (in-hospital PE cohort, n=5,007; non-PE cohort, n=4,679,952) were eligible: heart failure (n=208; n=87,160), femoral fracture (n=478; n=139,049), pneumonia (n=309; n=222,257), stroke (n=351; n=2
