Predicting adverse outcomes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism using CT scans

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study collects clinical, laboratory, and CT parameters from patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism upon hospital admission. The aim is to predict adverse outcomes within 30 days post-admission by developing a multivariable logistic regression model. Patients are divided into derivation and validation cohorts to evaluate the model's effectiveness against established risk stratification systems. The study focuses on enhancing predictive capabilities for better patient management.
