Multicenter Study Comparative StudyPrediction of short-term prognosis in elderly patients with acute pulmonary embolism: validation of the RIETE score.
Essentials The RIETE score was derived to predict 10-day adverse outcomes in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We externally validated the RIETE score in a prospective cohort of patients with PE. The RIETE score classified fewer patients as low-risk than currently recommended scores. The RIETE score was not superior to other scores in predicting 10-day adverse outcomes.
