Key result
The weighted pooled incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in pulmonary embolism survivors was 2.7%.
Meta-Analysis (n=10,249)
The pooled incidence of CTEPH after acute pulmonary embolism is 2.7%, highlighting the importance of monitoring patients with high-risk features such as RV dysfunction, unprovoked PE, or recurrent VTE.

Supports targeted CTEPH surveillance in PE survivors with RV dysfunction or unprovoked/recurrent VTE; extends pooled incidence estimates for risk stratification.
Tweetable abstract The weighted pooled CTEPH incidence in PE survivors was 2.7%. RV dysfunction at the moment of the acute PE, unprovoked PE and/or recurrent VTE are associated with an increased CTEPH incidence. https://bit.ly/3Nd8GC0

Luijten et al. (2023) conducted a meta-analysis in Acute pulmonary embolism (n=10,249). Acute pulmonary embolism was evaluated on Incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in PE survivors (95% CI 1.8-3.9). The weighted pooled incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in pulmonary embolism survivors was 2.7%.
