Trends in PE-related age-standardised mortality in the USA, 2000–18

Data from the Multiple Cause of Death Database. Locally weighted scatterplot smoother lines for the age-standardised mortality rate (number of deaths per 100 000 population) related to PE listed as the underlying cause of death or in any position of the death certificate. To account for differences in age distribution within each age group, age-standardised mortality rates were calculated within each class using weights from the European standard population. PE=pulmonary embolism.
