Key result
US PE mortality declines overall but remains highest in Black men at ~6 per 100,000.
Why the study?
Mortality trends and demographic patterns for pulmonary embolism in US residents during 1979–1996 were analyzed to understand its aetiology and mortality contrasts.

PE mortality decline in US vital statistics 1979–1996 warrants ongoing disparity monitoring; leaves open drivers and causal inference from observational trends.
Observational
Pulmonary embolism mortality in the US declined significantly from 1979 to 1996, though demographic disparities persisted, with the highest rates among black men.
David Eugene Lilienfeld (2000) conducted an observational in Pulmonary embolism. Demographic factors (race and gender) was evaluated on Age-adjusted pulmonary embolism mortality rates. Age-adjusted mortality from pulmonary embolism in the US declined significantly from 1979 to 1996, with 1996 rates remaining highest in black men (6.0 per 100,000) and black women (4.8 per 100,000).
