New tool could help doctors predict recovery after pulmonary embolism
NCT ID NCT05568927
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a step-by-step method called SEARCH to better classify what happens to people long after a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). Researchers looked at 150 adults to see if the method reliably identifies different outcomes, from full recovery to chronic conditions. The goal is to improve follow-up care and make it easier to use these outcomes in future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could give doctors a reliable, cost-effective way to identify different long-term outcomes after a pulmonary embolism, leading to better follow-up care.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study to validate a diagnostic algorithm, not a treatment trial. It is small (150 participants) and completed, so results may not apply to all patients.
