What are the risk factors for and clinical outcomes of delayed diagnosis in acute pulmonary thromboembolism?
Delayed diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is associated with specific risk factors like low Wells scores and non-specific CT findings, and massive embolism increases mortality risk.

May flag smokers with low Wells scores for closer PE scrutiny; leaves open whether targeted strategies reduce delay or mortality.
