Abstract: In hemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism, age > 65 years, bed rest > 72h, chronic cor pulmonale, sinus tachycardia and tachypnea were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. However, further validation of the prediction model in other populations is required so that it can be incorporated into the clinical practice.

“…Although 2008 guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) included the assessment of individual risk of early mortality associated with PE ( 6 - 8 ), prognostic factors in PE patients with Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) class I-III had not yet been clearly defined. The 2014 ESC guidelines included the advanced risk stratification of PE patients with PESI I-III ( 9 ), but the clinical implications of prognostic assessment and therapeutic strategy in these patients still warrant further investigation, because mortality in hemodynamically stable patients remains unknown ( 10 - 14 ).…”

“…Recent data suggest these numbers may be even higher (37). Volschan (19) presents overall mortality 14.1% and as independent death risks emphasizes age > 65 y; bed rest >72 h; chronic cor pulmonale; sinus tachycardia and tachypnoe. We found the overall mortality for PE 17.6 % in our patient set > 65 y with decreasing tendency among elderly people with PE action of LMWH prophylaxis.…”

“…Although circulatory collapse occurs in a relatively small proportion of the elderly, these latter patients are much more likely to have sustained massive pulmonary emboli and often have evidence of neurologic defi cits and fi ndings of pulmonary hypertension. Immobilization in medical ward (12,19) is due to illness (e.g. infection, malignancy, heart failure, myocardial infarction, stroke, frailty, geriatric giants etc.).…”
