From: Renal dysfunction improves risk stratification and may call for a change in the management of intermediate- and high-risk acute pulmonary embolism: results from a multicenter cohort study with external validation

Bar chart of observed 30-day all-cause mortality by risk categories from a prognostic algorithm with and without renal function impairment (i.e., eGFRMDRD4 < 60 ml/min), in the study population (a) and in the RIETE population for external validation (b). eGFRMDRD4: estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated with four-variable Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation. Interaction between renal dysfunction and risk categories was tested by the Breslow–Day test. *unadjusted p value. p value for interaction: overall comparison of the difference in observed mortality between patients with and patients without eGFRMDRD4 < 60 ml/min across risk groups
