Clinical presentation and prognosis of acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism in patients with concomitant upper-extremity versus lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis
Patients with concomitant UEDVT experienced worse short-term outcomes, including higher mortality, despite fewer clinical signs of PE severity compared with LEDVT. These findings suggest that unrecognised patient characteristics might influence prognosis, warranting further research.
