Abstract
Introduction: Evidence regarding the development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) during hospitalization is unclear. We hypothesized that the incidence of PE could vary depending on clinical department and aimed to conduct a survey on the incidence of in-hospital PE.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using claims data of in-hospital patients in Japan. We collected background information regarding patients with and without PE occurrence during hospitalization. Further, we determined the incidence of PE and implemented prophylactic procedures in patients with and without surgery according to clinical department at admission. Finally, we examined the duration of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality rates in patients with and without PE.
Results: We found that 5007 (0.107%, 20.61 per 1000 person-years) patients developed PE during hospitalization and differed by clinical department at admission. Moreover, 2272 (0.095%, 19.3 per 1000 person-years) and 2735 (0.119%, 21.8 per 1000 person-years) patients with and without surgery, respectively, developed PE during hospitalization (P < 0.001). Further, 33.8% of inpatients underwent prophylactic procedures for PE; however, the implementation rate differed between patients with and without surgery (59.2% vs. 7.3%, P < 0.001). The median duration of hospital stay in patients with and without PE was 31.0 and 11.0 days, and the in-hospital mortality rates in patients with and without PE were 11.0% and 3.5%, respectively (P < 0.001).
Discussion: The incidence of in-hospital PE differed according to patient characteristics, clinical departments, and presence/absence of surgery. The onset of PE during hospitalization leads to prolonged hospital stay and in-hospital death.
Conclusion: It is important to conduct a proper risk assessment on admission as well as to implement proper prophylactic procedures to prevent the development of PE during hospitalization.
简介：住院期间发生肺血栓栓塞症（PE）的证据尚不明确。我们假设肺血栓栓塞症的发病率会因临床科室的不同而有所差异，并旨在对住院期间肺血栓栓塞症的发病率进行调查：我们利用日本住院患者的理赔数据进行了一项回顾性分析。我们收集了住院期间发生和未发生 PE 的患者的背景信息。此外，我们还根据入院时的临床科室，确定了有手术和无手术患者的 PE 发生率和实施的预防程序。最后，我们还研究了有 PE 和无 PE 患者的住院时间和院内死亡率：我们发现，有 5007 名（0.107%，每 1000 人年 20.61 例）患者在住院期间发生了 PE，入院时的临床科室有所不同。此外，2272 例（0.095%，每千人年 19.3 例）和 2735 例（0.119%，每千人年 21.8 例）有手术和无手术的患者在住院期间发生 PE（P 讨论）：住院期间 PE 的发生率因患者特征、临床科室、有无手术而异。住院期间发生 PE 会导致住院时间延长和院内死亡：结论：入院时进行适当的风险评估以及实施适当的预防程序对预防住院期间发生 PE 非常重要。
期刊介绍：
Aims and Scope
Cardiology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer reviewed (single-blind), rapid-publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of cardiovascular therapies and interventions, including devices. Studies relating to diagnosis and diagnostics, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, as well as patient care, management and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, ischaemic heart disease and acute cardiac care, myocardial, valvular, pericardial and congenital heart disease, vascular and pulmonary disease (including hypertension), arrhythmias, heart failure, non-invasive diagnostic techniques, and invasive and interventional cardiology as well as cardiovascular surgery.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols and short communications such as commentaries and editorials. Cardiolology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals.
Rapid Publication
The journal’s publication timelines aim for a rapid peer review of 2 weeks. If an article is accepted it will be published 3–4 weeks from acceptance. The rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid, efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, fostering the advancement of cardiovascular therapies.
Personal Service
The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning authors will always have an editorial contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research.
Digital Features and Plain Language Summaries
Cardiology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’.

Publication Fees
Upon acceptance of your article for publication, authors will be required to pay the mandatory Rapid Service Fee of £3650/€4500/$5100. The journal will consider fee discounts for developing countries and this is decided on a case by case basis.
Open Access
All articles published by Cardiology and Therapy are published open access.
Peer Review Process
Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria.
At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision, with the exception of some article types such as Commentaries, Editorials and Letters which are generally reviewed by one member of the Editorial Board. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case by case basis and should be sent to the journal editor.
Preprints
We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other point during consideration in one of our journals. Once the preprint is published, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website.
