- A study validated the SEARCH algorithm to diagnose post-pulmonary embolism outcomes, showing high diagnostic reliability among experts.
- Symptomatic recovery was the most common outcome in 66.2% of patients, while 12.0% had chronic thromboembolism phenotypes.
- Chronic thromboembolism without pulmonary hypertension occurred in 2.1%, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension was found in 2.1%.
- The SEARCH protocol effectively identifies chronic thromboembolism phenotypes, which are common after acute pulmonary embolism.
