    Objective: To address the association between psychiatric disorders and short-term outcomes after acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: We identified adults with PE enrolled in the RIETE registry between December 1, 2013, and January 31, 2019. Using multinomial regression, we assessed the association between a history of psychiatric disorders and the outcomes of all-cause mortality, PE-related mortality, and venous thromboembolism recurrence and bleeding rates through 30 days after initiation of treatment. We also examined the impact of depression on all-cause and PE-specific mortality. Results: Among 13,120 patients diagnosed with acute PE, 16.1% (2115) had psychiatric disorders and 4.2% died within the first 30-days of follow-up. Patients with psychiatric disorders had increased odds for all-cause (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.50; 95% CI, 1.21 to 1.86; P < 0.001) and PE-related mortality (adjusted OR 1.64; 95% CI, 1.09 to 2.48; P = 0.02) compared to those without psychiatric disorders. Multinomial logistic regression showed a non-significant trend toward lower risk of recurrences for patients with psychiatric disorders (adjusted OR 0.49; 95% CI, 0.21 to 1.15; P = 0.10). Psychiatric disorders were not significantly associated with increased odds for major bleeds during follow-up (adjusted OR 1.09; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.40; P = 0.49). Results were consistent in a sensitivity analysis that only considered patients with a diagnosis of depression. Conclusions: In patients with acute PE, history of psychiatric disorders might predict all-cause and PE-related death in the ensuing month after diagnosis.

    Background: Cancer patients are at high risk of venous thromboembolism, particularly during cancer treatment. Conversely to chemotherapy, data on the epidemiology and clinical features of venous thromboembolism during radiation therapy are scarce. There is lack of evidence on the influence of radiation therapy (RT) on outcome in cancer patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). Methods: We used the RIETE (Registro Informatizado de Enfermedad ThromboEmbolica) database to assess the clinical characteristics and outcome of prospectively-collected consecutive patients with cancer-associated thrombosis occurred during the course of radiation therapy for cancer. Death, venous thromboembolism recurrences and major bleeding rates during long-term follow-up according to cancer site and treatment were compared RESULTS: 9284 Patients with active cancer and VTE were enrolled in RIETE: 4605 with pulmonary embolism (PE) and 4679 with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In all, 1202 (13%) were receiving RT. This last sub-population had a higher rate of PE recurrences and a similar rate of DVT recurrences or major bleeding than those not receiving RT. Patients on RT had a higher rate of cerebral bleeding. Conclusions: In this cohort of cancer patients with VTE, a significant proportion of them received RT before VTE, the latter experienced a higher risk of cerebral bleeding.
