Pulmonary Thromboembolism Developed During Hospitalization: A Nationwide Retrospective Observational Study Using Claims Data

Introduction Evidence regarding the development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) during hospitalization is unclear. We hypothesized that the incidence of PE could vary depending on clinical department and aimed to conduct a survey on the incidence of in-hospital PE. Methods We conducted a retrospec...

Description
Summary:Introduction Evidence regarding the development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) during hospitalization is unclear. We hypothesized that the incidence of PE could vary depending on clinical department and aimed to conduct a survey on the incidence of in-hospital PE. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis using claims data of in-hospital patients in Japan. We collected background information regarding patients with and without PE occurrence during hospitalization. Further, we determined the incidence of PE and implemented prophylactic procedures in patients with and without surgery according to clinical department at admission. Finally, we examined the duration of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality rates in patients with and without PE. Results We found that 5007 (0.107%, 20.61 per 1000 person-years) patients developed PE during hospitalization and differed by clinical department at admission. Moreover, 2272 (0.095%, 19.3 per 1000 person-years) and 2735 (0.119%, 21.8 per 1000 person-years) patients with and without surgery, respectively, developed PE during hospitalization ( P
