Trends in the incidence and treatment of pulmonary embolism in Poland (2018–2023): Insights from public healthcare data
A lower estimated annual PE incidence in Poland of 60/100 000 persons when compared to recent European data suggesting suboptimal PE diagnosis and high all-cause in-hospital and one-year mortality rates necessitate improvement of PE diagnosis and management. Moreover, our data showed that women with PE may have worse prognosis than men and that non-adherence to anticoagulation significantly reduces one-year post-discharge survival.
