What are the trends and disparities in mortality among patients with coexisting pulmonary embolism and obesity in the US?
Mortality from concurrent pulmonary embolism and obesity is significantly rising in the US, disproportionately affecting women, middle-aged adults, non-Hispanic Black individuals, and rural residents.
valor p: p=<.001
Background: Obesity increases the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) through multiple mechanisms. Objectives: This study examined mortality trends in patients with coexisting PE and obesity. Methods: < .05. Results: < .001). Conclusions: The analysis reveals a significant rise in mortality from concurrent PE and obesity, with higher rates observed in women, middle-aged adults, non-Hispanic Black individuals, and residents of nonmetropolitan areas. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions in these high-risk groups.
Goyal et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Pulmonary embolism and obesity. Obesity vs. Without obesity was evaluated on Mortality (p=<.001). Concurrent pulmonary embolism and obesity was associated with a significant rise in mortality (P<0.001), with higher rates in women, middle-aged adults, and non-Hispanic Black individuals.
