PE is thought result from interactions between the patient and risk factors <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib1">1</a>–<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib3">3</a>. In cases of suspected PE, clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings should be carefully studied. Because the clinical findings of PE are non-specific, objective diagnostic tests are required for its diagnosis <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib4">4</a>. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is increasingly being used as the first investigation for suspected PE. The extent of a PE is commonly expressed by indicating the anatomical level of the most proximal vessel affected by a thrombus <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib5">5</a>. For a definitive diagnosis of suspected PE, the D-dimer level is one factor that should be determined. Plasma D-dimer measurement provides information about fibrin degradation fragments following fibrinolysis. D-dimer assays have low specificity but high sensitivity and negative predictive value in most patients with suspected thromboemboli <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib6">6</a>. The red cell distribution width (RDW) is a quantitative indicator of the variability in the size of red blood cells. This parameter, which can be easily obtained from a full blood count, is accepted as an indicator of ineffective red cell production <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib7">7</a>.

The most frequent accompanying disorders were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (22%) and malignancy (10.1%), and the most frequent risk factors were recent operation (14.1%) and immobilization (18.2%). Thrombi were most frequently observed in the right pulmonary artery (37.8%). In 31% of the patients, the thrombus was localized to the main pulmonary arteries. Immobile patients exhibited a higher proportion of thrombi in the main pulmonary arteries than mobile patients. The mean D-dimer level and the mean red blood cell distribution width in the patients with thrombi in the main pulmonary arteries were higher than those in the patients with thrombi in more distal
