Overweight and Obesity does not Increase Severity of Pulmonary Embolism
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common life threatening condition in daily practice. Incidence of PE has been reported to be 112.3 cases per 100,000 patients [1,2]. Several prognostic models have been examined in patients with acute PE. The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and the simplified PESI (sPESI) are among the most well studied models. sPESI scoring system is shown in Table 1. Othe...
متن کاملOveruse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE).

متن کاملPulmonary 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 کاملThe pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) rule does not safely exclude pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria (PERC) rule is a clinical diagnostic rule designed to exclude pulmonary embolism (PE) without further testing. We sought to externally validate the diagnostic performance of the PERC rule alone and combined with clinical probability assessment based on the revised Geneva score. METHODS The PERC rule was applied retrospectively to consecutive...
متن کاملSimplification of the pulmonary embolism severity index for prognostication in patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) estimates the risk of 30-day mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We constructed a simplified version of the PESI. METHODS The study retrospectively developed a simplified PESI clinical prediction rule for estimating the risk of 30-day mortality in a derivation cohort of Spanish outpatients. Simplified and original P...
