This study aim to compare the accuracy of these scores in predicting mortality during hospital admission.', 'detailedDescription': 'Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening cardiovascular emergency with a high mortality rate.Approximately 1% of all hospitalized patients and 10% of all in-hospital mortalities are PE related. Adding to this, acute PE is linked to comparatively high (≥13%) short-term mortalities that occur either in hospital or within 30 days.\n\nSome studies have demonstrated that PE may indicate increased 1-year mortality rates up to 25%,,. Therefore, PE is considered a potentially fatal disease, although patients who escape a PE-related death are still endangered by hematologic mishaps, especially recurrence of VTE and/or PE, or on the contrary, serious hemorrhage5.\n\nRisk stratification of patients with acute PE is mandatory for determining the appropriate therapeutic management approach. Risk classification of PE can discriminate low-risk patients, who can be medicated as outpatients, from others at high risk, in whom a profit from intensive care unit admission or even in-hospital thrombolytic therapy is expected.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '75 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'The present study is a cross-sectional study.
