Trends in Pulmonary Embolism Deaths Among Young Adults Aged 25 to 44 Years in the United States, 1999 to 2019

A concerning increase in mortality from acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in young adults in the United States has been reported. We extracted PE-related mortality rates (number of deaths per US population) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide‐Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Re...

Description
Summary:A concerning increase in mortality from acute pulmonary embolism (PE) in young adults in the United States has been reported. We extracted PE-related mortality rates (number of deaths per US population) from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide‐Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database from 1999 to 2019, focusing on subjects aged 25 to 44 years. Age‐adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs) were assessed using the Joinpoint regression modeling and expressed as the estimated average annual percentage change (AAPC) with relative 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) and stratified by urbanization, gender, age, and race. Between 1999 and 2019, the AAMR from acute PE in US adults aged 25 to 44 years linearly increased without any difference between genders (AAPC +1.5%, 95% CI 1.2 to 1.8, p
