Pulmonary embolism severity index accurately predicts long‐term mortality rate in patients hospitalized for acute pulmonary embolism

The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Severity Index (PESI) is a clinical prognostic rule that accurately classifies PE patients into five risk classes with increasing mortality. PESI score has been validated in studies with a relatively short‐term follow‐up and its accuracy in predicting long‐term prognosis has never been established.
