Pulmonary embolism incidence among patient admitted under psychiatry department: a case-control study
Our findings suggest that a history of restraint, alcoholism, and the use of antipsychotics and benzodiazepines are important predictors of PE in psychiatric inpatients. Conversely, psychotropic medications at admission may be linked to a lower PE risk. The d-dimer diagnostic tool shows good value for screening PE in psychiatric inpatients. These predictors and diagnostic markers could help clinicians identify high-risk patients and implement appropriate prevention strategies.
