Pulmonary Thromboembolism Developed During Hospitalization: A Nationwide Retrospective Observational Study Using Claims Data.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Evidence regarding the development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) during hospitalization is unclear. We hypothesized that the incidence of PE could vary depending on clinical department and aimed to conduct a survey on the incidence of in-hospital PE.
