"Sex Based Disparities in Pulmonary Embolism Advanced Interventions and Outcomes: A Multicenter Study"

Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) can be complex and difficult to manage. Given evolving guidelines for the use of advanced therapies, this is a high-risk area for potential bias in their application, potentially contributing to disparities. This study seeks to answer this critical question by utilizing an enriched multicenter pulmonary embolism response team (PERT) database to evaluate for sex-based disparities in both interventions & outcomes, including major bleeding and mortality.
