The aim of this study is to assess pulmonary embolism (PE) incidence and its possible particularities in Timis region. We've studied the hospitalized casuistic over a 3 year period regarding the demographic aspects, clinical particularities and prognostic factors in pulmonary embolism. The incidence of pulmonary embolism is increasing with age (71 % of patients were over 50 years old), especially in women (62%), with the predominance of moderate PE (42%). PE is a relatively rare clinical condition reported to general admissions per year (0.76%). Having a 6% incidence of death and 4,4% of total deaths, pulmonary embolism remains a severe disease.
