description <h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">We sought to evaluate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for early versus late pulmonary embolism (PE) in trauma patients. </p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">This was a retrospective analysis of injured patients who presented with a confirmed PE between 2013 and 2019. Data were analysed and compared for patients with early PE (≤ 4 days) versus late PE (> 4 days post-trauma). </p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">The study included 82 consecutive trauma patients with confirmed diagnosis of PE. The mean age of patients was 42.3 ± 16.2 years. The majority were males (79.3%) and the median time from injury to PE was 10 days. Of the PE cases, 24 (29.3%) had early PE, while 58 (70.7%) had late PE. The early PE group had higher rates of surgical intervention within 24 hours of admission than the late PE group (p = 0.001). Also, the rate of sub-segmental thrombi was significantly higher in the early PE group (p = 0.01). The late PE group sustained more moderate-to-severe injuries ie, GCS ED < 13 (p = 0.03) and the median time from injury to PE diagnosis was 15 days (p = 0.001). After adjusting for the potential covariates, surgery within 24 hours of admission [adjusted odds ratio 37.58 (95% confidence interval 3.393– 416.20), p = 0.003] was found to be significant independent predictor of early PE in trauma patients. </p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">One-third of post-trauma PEs occurs early after trauma and the surgical intervention within the first 24 hours of admission is a major risk factor. A prospective study is needed to develop an objective risk assessment for the prevention and detection of early and late PE post-trauma.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Journal of General Medicine<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/ijgm.s387880" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.2147/ijgm.s387880</a></p>
