Outcomes for PE patients treated with CDT versus anticoagulation alone, after propensity score matching

Continuous outcomes	Mean difference	95% CI	p value
Drop in hemoglobin at 2 days (g/dL)	− 1.04	− 1.48, − 0.60	< 0.001
Drop in hemoglobin 1 week (g/dL)	− 1.36	− 1.88, − 0.84	< 0.001
Increase in creatinine at 2 days (mg/dL)	0.22	0.02, 0.42	0.03
Increase in creatinine at 1 week (mg/dL)	0.12	− 0.11, 0.35	0.30

Binary outcomes	Odds ratio	95% CI	p value
In-hospital mortality	1.21	0.53, 2.77	0.65
Required mechanical ventilation	1.63	0.85, 3.16	0.15

Reported values represent mean difference in laboratory values or odds ratio where indicated. A p value < 0.05 is considered significant
