Key result
Acute PE risk stratification guides ambulatory care and prevents treatment delays affecting ~20% of patients.
Why the study?
Despite clinical guidelines emphasizing risk stratification in pulmonary embolism, a large proportion of patients lacked documented risk stratification, leading to unnecessary admissions or inappropriate outpatient management.

Most VTE deaths occur in high/intermediate-high risk PE despite advances; leaves open need for targeted research on novel high-risk therapies.
Modern management of acute pulmonary embolism requires formal risk stratification to appropriately triage patients to ambulatory care, observation, or urgent reperfusion.
Nick Murch (2026) conducted a review in Acute pulmonary embolism. Formal risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism is essential to guide ambulatory care for low-risk patients and avoid treatment delays, which currently occur in nearly 20% of cases.
