Introduction: Eosinopenia is an independent marker of poor prognosis, associated with severe systemic inflammation, specially in sepsis / bacterial septic shock. Its behavior in pulmonary thromboembolism (PET) is not clear. Objective: To evaluate the association between eosinopenia and mortality in adult patients with PE. Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients diagnosed with PE of the Institutional Registry of Thromboembolic Disease of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (RIET), between June 1, 2012 and March 31, 2017. Pregnant women were excluded. Patients were followed up to 90 days, loss or death. Eosinophils were considered as the exposure variable at diagnosis.
