Socioeconomic Disadvantage Is Associated With Health Care Disparities in Mortality and Readmissions After Submassive (Intermediate-Risk) Pulmonary Embolism

Abstract

Submassive pulmonary embolism (sPE) can result in increased morbidity and mortality, but the impact of socioeconomic status (SES) on outcomes has not been explored. We investigated this association using the area deprivation index (ADI), a validated measure of SES.
