Enhancing Pulmonary Embolism Risk Stratification: The National Early Warning Score and its Integration into the European Society of Cardiology Classification.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary embolism (PE) requires accurate risk assessment. We investigated the prognostic performance of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in emergency department patients with PE.We included patients ≥ 18 years from our PE registry (2017 to 2021), excluding patients after cardiac arrest or intubation before admission. The primary outcome was a composite of 30-day all-cause mortality or the need for advanced therapy (i.e., systemic or catheter-directed thrombolysis). We used logistic regression and the Cox proportional hazards models to estimate associations. The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) classification served as covariates. The overall score performances were quantified using receiver operating characteristic analysis.We in
