Clinical Profile and Admission Outcomes of Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism at a Resource‐Constrained Hospital in Ghana: A Retrospective Pilot Study

Clinical features and predisposing factors were largely similar to those described in the literature. Also, pretest probability assessment was underutilized. In-hospital mortality rate (11.8%) was relatively high. Large-scale, multicenter prospective studies are recommended to assess long-term complications of acute pulmonary embolism such as recurrence and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
