Of 2776 patients, 2408 had at least one RV echocardiographic parameter measured at admission (RV diastolic diameter, RV systolic pressure, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion [TAPSE], and ratio TAPSE\/RV systolic pressure). Multivariable Cox regression adjusted for age, sex-specific differences, and shock at admission (systolic arterial pressure &lt;90 mmHg), was used to identify predictors of all-cause in-hospital mortality. Sex-specific cutoffs of echocardiographic parameters with the strongest predictive value for all-cause mortality were determined using a decision tree.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All-cause in-hospital mortality rates were similar between men (7.6%, 83\/1125) and women (9.2%, 118\/1283; p=0.107). TAPSE was the only echocardiographic parameter independently associated with all-cause in-hospital mortality in women (adjusted hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] 0.84 [0.77\u20130.90], p&lt;0.001), but not in men (0.92 [0.85\u20131.01], p=0.075). Decision-tree analyses identified TAPSE cutoffs of &gt;19 mm for women and &gt;16 mm for men, enabling discrimination between low- and high-risk patients. Mortality was 10.2% versus 0.9% in women (\u226419 vs. &gt;19 mm, p&lt;0.001) and 9.0% versus 2.5% in men (\u226416 vs. &gt;16 mm, p=0.001). In women, TAPSE &gt;19 mm identified a subgroup with very low in-hospital mortality (1.4%) and an excellent negative predictive value (98.6%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
