624 Background: Cancer is a well-established risk factor for the development of pulmonary embolism (PE), especially the. gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. While multiple studies have reported burden PE in cancer patients, recent data comparing in-hospital outcomes among different types patients are lacking. This study aimed to investigate clinical and healthcare utilization hospitalized with acute context Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted using from National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020). International Statistical Classification Diseases (ICD-10) codes were employed identify admitted primary diagnosis PE. Data regarding GI along demographic information, baseline characteristics, outcome variables, including mortality, hospital length stay, total charges, complications factors collected analyzed. analysis performed survey procedures function STATA v.17, statistical significance defined by t-test at level p < 0.05. Results: Among 181,060 embolism, 550 (0.3%) had underlying gastric cancer, 1,790 (0.98%) pancreatic 875 (0.48%) hepatobiliary 2,600 (1.61%) small intestine colorectal cancer. Mortality found be significantly higher all demonstrating highest mortality rate (10%). After adjusting age, sex, race, payment category, comorbidities, PE, (OR 2.6; 95% CI: 1.1-6.2) 2.2; 1.4-3.4) as independent mortality. There no significant difference mean stays charges or without Similarly, differences observed such requirement mechanical ventilation, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, need vasopressor thrombolysis. Conclusions: In-hospital however; there stay
