Prognostic Value of the Charlson Comorbidity Index in Pulmonary Embolism

Prognostic impact of the Charlson comorbidity index on mortality following acute pulmonary embolism.

OBJECTIVES It was the aim of this study to determine the prognostic significance of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) following acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and assess the prognosis of patients without comorbidities (defined as a CCI score of 0). METHODS Outcomes of 1,023 consecutive patients admitted with confirmed PE were tracked after a median of 3.7 years (25-75th interquartile range ...

Charlson Comorbidity Index

The prognostic value of pulmonary embolism severity index in acute pulmonary embolism: a meta-analysis

BACKGROUND Prognostic assessment is important for the management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and simple PESI (sPESI) are new emerged prognostic assessment tools for APE. The aim of this meta-analysis is to assess the accuracy of the PESI and the sPESI to predict prognostic outcomes (all-cause and PE-related mortality, serious adverse...

[Prognostic value of Charlson comorbidity index at 30 days and 1 year after acute myocardial infarction].

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), an indicator of comorbidity, has been used as an adjusting variable in multivariate models. Because of its prognostic value per se for cardiovascular complications after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we sought to determine the predictive value of the CCI for all-cause mortality and recurrent AMI 30 days and 1 year after the ...

Charlson comorbidity index adjustment in intracerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Previous studies of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcome prediction models have not systematically included adjustment for comorbid conditions. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was associated with early mortality and long-term functional outcome in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage. METHODS We performed a retros...
