Implication

Randomized trial found outpatient management and early discharge effective and safe for low-risk pulmonary embolism patients, indicating viable alternatives to hospitalization.

Key Points

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of outpatient management and early discharge for patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).
Cohort study including 127 patients diagnosed with PE at low and intermediate-low risk.
Patients categorized into outpatient care, early discharge (3-4 days), or standard inpatient treatment (5 days or more).
Primary outcomes included incidence of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding rates.
No fatal VTE recurrences reported across groups.
Bleeding rates were 2% in outpatient, 5.4% in early discharge, and 0% in standard inpatient groups.
Similar readmission rates across groups; chronic heart failure identified as a VTE recurrence predictor.
