Abstract

Introduction: Identifying the prognostic factors for patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) play a critical role in determining of the treatment strategy and to reduce mortality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and compare NLR with other prognostic factors in APE.
