Pulmonary embolism: predicting disease severity.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the most common cause of acute pulmonary hypertension, yet it is commonly undiagnosed, with risk of death if not recognized promptly and managed accordingly. Patients typically present with hypoxemia and hypomania, although the presentation varies greatly, being confounded by co-morbidities such as pre-existing cardio-respiratory disease. Previous studies have demonst...
متن کاملPulmonary embolism severity index accurately predicts long-term mortality rate in patients hospitalized for acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Severity Index (PESI) is a clinical prognostic rule that accurately classifies PE patients into five risk classes with increasing mortality. PESI score has been validated in studies with a relatively short-term follow-up and its accuracy in predicting long-term prognosis has never been established. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted to the tertiary ca...
متن کاملClinical and echocardiographic predictors of mortality in acute pulmonary embolism
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of adding quantitative assessments of cardiac function from echocardiography to clinical factors in predicting the outcome of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS Patients with a diagnosis of acute PE, based on a positive ventilation perfusion scan or computed tomography (CT) chest angiogram, were identified using the D...
متن کاملIncreasing mortality from pulmonary embolism in Japan, 1951-2000.
In the United States, annual mortality rates from pulmonary embolism (PE) tended to increase from the 1960s to the mid 1980s, but thereafter began to decrease. In Japan, PE is not yet widespread and there have not been any reports of the time-trend of its mortality rate. The present study calculated the annual age-adjusted and age-specific PE mortality rates for Japanese residents during 1951 t...
متن کاملMortality from acute pulmonary embolism according to season.
BACKGROUND Varying observations have been made on seasonal differences of mortality from acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS The number of deaths each year from PE, from 1980 through 1998, based on death certificates, was obtained from the US National Center for Health Statistics Multiple Cause-of-Death Files. RESULTS Acute PE as the cause of death ranged from 0.91 to 1.03 PE deaths per ...
