    • Abstract:
      Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant public health concern. This retrospective cohort study examines the clinical profiles and outcomes of patients diagnosed with PE at a medical center in central Iran, aiming to identify mortality predictors during hospitalization and follow-up. Methods: Data from 109 patients diagnosed with PE were analyzed, with a median follow-up of 23 months. The collected information included demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment protocols, and outcomes. Logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used to identify independent mortality predictors and assess survival impact. Results: The mean age was 59.2 years (±19.7), with 51.4% male. Common symptoms included dyspnea (86%) and chest pain (53%), with non-massive PE being the most prevalent (63%). Independent mortality predictors identified were age (odds ratio [OR] 1.065 per year, P
