Comparison of geriatric pulmonary embolism severity index (G-PESI) with PESI and s-PESI in predicting prognosis and mortality

Aim: Our objective is to investigate the effect of geriatric pulmonary embolism severity index score on mortality independent age and compare it with simplified index.
 Material Method: This a retrospective observational study including patients over 65 years diagnosed embolism, who presented emergency medicine clinic tertiary hospital between January 1, 2016 2021. The relationship original PESI 30-day was evaluated, removed from in G-PESI. A univariate analysis PESI, s-PESI, G-PESI performed using chi-square test, Fisher’s exact Student’s t-test, Mann–Whitney U test as appropriate determine association these scores mortality. Statistical SPSS version 26.0.
 Results: included 167 patients, whom 113 (67.7%) were women. According diagnostic performance report, index, statistically significant predicting mortality, area under curve values 0.736 (0.34-1.91), 0.635 (0.74-1.81), 0.739 (0.50-2.18) at cut-off >110, >2, >40, respectively (p
