Observational Study[An update on pulmonary embolism-related mortality in Italy (2003-2015)].
Data regarding pulmonary embolism (PE)-related mortality in Italy are scarce. We assessed PE-related mortality and its time trend in Italy by using the World Health Organization (WHO) Mortality Database. ⋯ The Italian age-adjusted mortality rates appeared lower compared to overall Southern Europe, despite a similar decreasing trend over time.
