Association of Shock Index and Variants with Mortality in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Among patients presenting to the ED who had a PERT activation for acute PE, the age-adjusted SI had the highest discriminatory efficiency for mortality, followed by the SI and its other variants. Further investigation regarding use of the age-adjusted SI for prognostication of acute PE and implications on PE management is warranted.
