Overall, 184 patients were included into the analysis. VAT was assessed on axial slices of the thoracic CT at the level of the first lumbar vertebra. Clinical scores, serological parameters, need for intubation, ICU admission and 30\u2009days mortality were assessed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Using the previously reported threshold of 100\u2009cm\u00b2 for visceral obesity definition 136 (73.9%), patients were considered as visceral obese. There was a moderate correlation between VAT and BMI (r = 0.56, p &amp;lt; 0.0001). There was also a moderate correlation between VAT and body height (r = 0.41, p =&amp;lt; 0.0001). Of all investigated clinical scores relating to acute PE, only the GENEVA score correlated weakly with VAT (r = 0.15, p = 0.04). There were significant correlations between VAT and creatinine (r = 0.38, p &amp;lt; 0.0001) and Glomerular filtration rate (r = \u22120.21, p = 0.005).
