Comparative analysis of patient outcomes in pulmonary embolism with chronic inflammatory diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical condition with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly among patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus that are linked to a heightened risk of thromboembolic events.

Method

This retrospective analysis examined 725,725 adult patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of PE using the National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2019.
