Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals with a CT-verified diagnosis of pulmonary embolism who are expected to survive at least 12 months post-diagnosis.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not have a CT-verified diagnosis of pulmonary embolism or those with a life expectancy of less than 12 months may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This project aims to develop, test, and implement a structured follow-up model for patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism (PE) in Denmark. It involves a pre-post intervention design where patient-reported outcomes and clinical data will be collected before and after the implementation of the Attend-PE model across 16 participating hospitals. The study will assess changes in health-related quality of life and healthcare utilization over a 12-month period following the PE event. The goal is to standardize post-PE management and improve patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this model could enhance the quality of care and health outcomes for patients recovering from pulmonary embolism.

How similar studies have gone: While structured follow-up models for PE are not widely implemented, similar approaches in managing other chronic conditions have shown positive outcomes, suggesting potential success for this model.
