Retrospective cohort study shows hospital admission for pulmonary embolism is common, suggesting outpatient management may be a safe option.
Although classified as low-risk, over half of patients with acute PE were hospitalized. Elevated HR, reduced oxygen saturation, and comorbid conditions significantly influenced site-of-care decisions in this population. Outpatient management was associated with comparable 90-day safety outcomes, reinforcing its viability when patients are appropriately selected.
