ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the major complication of thromboembolic disease. While a few qualitative studies have explored patient experience after PE, to our knowledge no literature review is available to date. The aim of this work was to explore patient experience after a PE episode through a systematic review of the literature comprising patient experience, clinicians' perception of the patients' attitude and knowledge, and the patients' perception of VTE prevention strategies.METHODS:
A search of PubMed, Web of science, Cochrane and EMBASE databases. The search was conducted without filters. Search results were combined and duplicates were removed. The selection was blinded by two independent researchers using the Rayyan application.RESULTS:
Fifty studies were assessed for quality and 23 were included. Individual semi-structured interviews and focus groups were widely used to explore patient experience after a PE episode. Patients described deterioration in their quality of life, their psychological state and an initial feeling of carer abandonment. The trends observed appear to be more pronounced in patients with an episode characterized as unprovoked.CONCLUSION:
These preliminary results call for further longitudinal studies, the objective being to better understand the evolution of these factors in the short and long terms.Palavras-chave
