LOINC description : The pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) score is based on 11 prognostic variables,
including age, gender, heart rate, pulse oximetry result, and past medical history,
that are used to stratify patients into five risk classes (I-V) of increasing probability
of mortality. The scores range from 0 to greater than or equal to 125. Scores between
0-65 are grouped into Class I and indicate very low risk, 66-85 (Class II) indicate
low risk, 86-105 (Class III) indicate intermediate risk, 106-125 (Class IV) indicate
high risk, and 125 (Class V) indicate very high risk. The scores are used to determine
whether a patient is a potential candidate for outpatient care or if more intensive
treatment and care is needed.[PMID: 16020800][PMID: 18989542];
