Patients with active infection, hematologic or active solid organ malignancy, or immunosuppressive therapy were excluded. The cohort comprised 821 patients. Thrombus localization was assessed by CTPA and classified as central or peripheral. Thrombus burden was quantified using the Qanadli score. The Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), and Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) were calculated from hematologic parameters at admission. Clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic data were analyzed to assess 28-day mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In patients with central thrombus location, the Qanadli score, right heart overload findings, pulmonary artery pressure, troponin, and B-type natriuretic peptide (pro-BNP) levels were significantly higher (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). However, no significant relationship was found between thrombus localization and 28-day mortality, and the Qanadli score was also not associated with mortality (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&gt;\u20090.05).
