PERFORM: Pulmonary embolism risk score for mortality in computed tomographic pulmonary angiography-confirmed patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current prognostic scores for pulmonary embolism (PE) were partly based on patients without PE confirmation via computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), involving subjective parameters and complicated scoring methods. Therefore, we sought to develop an objective, accurate, and simple prognostic model in CTPA-confirmed patients to predict the risk of 30-day mortality.

Methods

We retrospectively evaluated 509 patients with objectively confirmed PE by CTPA from 2010 to 2017 in the Minhang Hospital, which is affiliated to Fudan University. Patients were randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts. The primary end point was 30-day mortality. The secondary end points were the time to recovery in 30 days and mortality in 15 days. We compared the p
