Bikdeli B, Wang Y, Jimenez D, et al. - Researchers determined the pulmonary embolism hospitalization, readmission, and mortality rates from 1999 to 2015 among US elderly adults. They noted that, over the past decade and a half, progress had been made in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography, for instance, is now the routine diagnostic test. Moreover, the availability of risk stratification tools and non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants that do not necessitate routine laboratory monitoring have expedited early patient discharge.
