  • Obstetrical pulmonary embolism mortality, United States, 1970-85

    A L Franks, Hani K Atrash et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1990References: 11

However, Black women maintained more than a 2.5-fold higher risk, and women over age 40 had a ten-fold higher risk of embolism mortality. Thus, although the risk of obstetrical pu…
