Impact of obesity on clinical outcomes in patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism: A comparative analysis
Our study revealed an "obesity paradox" in high-risk PE patients, with obese and severely obese individuals showing lower mortality and fewer complications despite higher comorbidity rates. These findings emphasize the need for tailored risk assessment and treatment strategies in obese patients with high-risk PE.
