There was one PE related death in the submassive PE group (1.47% mortality on day 14 and day 30).&nbsp; Massive PE was associated with a 29.4% PE related mortality short-term mortality.</p>}, number={2}, journal={The Physician}, author={Asthana, Arushi and Konar, Niladri and Chakravorty, Indranil}, year={2020}, month={Oct.} }
