abstract = {The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between clinical severity and functionality,
occupational performance, and health-related quality of life in patients hospitalized with
pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism patients were grouped by clinical severity using the Pulmonary
Embolism Severity Index. Those scoring ≥160 were in the high-severity group (HSG); those
scoring < 160 in the low–moderate group (LMSG). The main variables were functionality assessed
by theWorld Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), self-perception of
occupational performance assessed by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM),
pain and fatigue assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and health-related quality of life assessed
by the EuroQol-5Dimensions (EQ-5D). Patients were evaluated at hospital admission and at
1-month and 3-month follow-up. At admission, there were significant differences between groups in
the WHODAS and health-related quality of life in favor of the LMSG. At 1-month and at 3-month
follow-up, there were significant differences between the LMSG and HSG in WHODAS, COMP,
NRS pain, fatigue and EQ-5D scores in favor of the LMSG. An association exists between clinical
severity and mid-term functionality, self-perception of occupational performance, pain, fatigue, and
health-related quality of life in PE patients.},
