Post-mortem pulmonary embolism (PE) incidence declined from 19.2% in 1960 to 14.2% in 2000. This study reviewed autopsy data, noting higher rates in females and seasonal variations, with peak incidence in autumn.

Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant cause of mortality.
  • Understanding long-term trends in PE incidence is crucial for public health strategies.
  • Autopsy data provides a valuable resource for retrospective epidemiological studies.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze the post-mortem incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) over a 40-year period (1960-2000).
  • To identify trends, demographic variations, and seasonal patterns in PE mortality.
  • To compare findings with existing pathological studies on PE incidence.

Summary:

  • A retrospective review of 3420 adult autopsies across five reference years (1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000) revealed a declining trend in PE incidence from 19.2% to 14.2%.

  • The study observed a higher incidence in females (20.4%) compared to males (14.4%) and noted the highest PE incidence during autumn (18.6%) and the lowest in spring (14.3%).
  • The average age of patients dying with PE increased from 63.7 years in 1960 to 67.8 years in 2000, with older ages observed in females.

    • Impact:

    • Confirms the declining trend of post-mortem PE incidence reported in other pathological studies.
    • Provides valuable epidemiological data on PE trends, aiding in resource allocation and preventative measure development.
    • Highlights demographic and seasonal factors influencing PE mortality, informing targeted public health interventions.
