Résumé fourni par la source

Background Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism ( PE ), we aimed to evaluate for an association between oxygen saturation ( SatO 2 ) and 30-day post-PE mortality. Methods Between January, 2001 and April, 2025, we conducted a retrospective cohort study of 38,739 non-hypotensive patients with acute PE enrolled from 18 countries in the Registro Informatizado de la Enfermedad Tromboembólica ( RIETE ) registry. Outcomes included 30-day all-cause and PE-specific mortality. We used hierarchical logistic regression to assess for an association between baseline SatO 2 and outcomes. We aimed to identify optimal SatO 2 cut-off points that maximized sensitivity and specificity in relation to mortality from receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curves. RIETE is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02832245. Findings Baseline SatO 2 was significantly associated with mortality, where lower SatO 2 had worse outcomes. Using a reference SatO 2 of >96%, patients in the lower SatO 2 strata had higher rates of all-cause death (odds ratio [ OR ] 0.96 for SatO 2 94–96%; 1.23 for SatO 2 90–93%; and 1.81 for SatO 2 <90%) and PE-related mortality (OR 1.68 for SatO 2 94–96%; 2.04 for SatO 2 90–93%; and 3.95 for SatO 2 <90%). The optimal cut-off point to identify patients at low-risk for short-term mortality was SatO 2 of 96% (sensitivity of 86.1% and negative predictive value of 96.7%); while SatO 2 of 90% (specificity of 77.2% and positive predictive value of 7.9%) identified patients at increased risk for mortality. Interpretation Among non-hypotensive patients diagnosed with PE, we found an inverse association between baseline SatO 2 and odds of all-cause and PE-associated mortality over the subsequent 30 days. A SatO 2 cutoff value of 96% for the highest SatO 2 group while breathing room air might help better identify patients with acute PE at low-risk for mortality. Future studies should assess the contribution of SatO2 in addition to established prognosticators to predicting the risk of death. Funding ROVI.
