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...
متن کاملPrognostic value of brain natriuretic peptide in acute pulmonary embolism
INTRODUCTION The relationship between brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) increase in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and the increase in mortality and morbidity has frequently been suggested in small studies but its global prognostic performance remains largely undefined. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of data to examine the prognostic value of elevated BNP for short-term all-cau...
متن کامل[Prognostic value of imaging methods in acute pulmonary embolism].
A embolia pulmonar (EP) constitui a terceira causa mais frequente de doença cardiovascular aguda, depois do acidente vascular cerebral e do enfarte agudo do miocárdio. A rapidez no diagnóstico, estratificação de risco e tratamento de doentes com EP aguda permitem reduzir a sua mortalidade. Os desenvolvimentos dos métodos de imagem das últimas décadas trouxeram significativas mudanças nos algori...
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 کاملUltrasound at scintigraphic "intermediate probability of pulmonary embolism".
For diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), ventilation/perfusion lung scintigraphy is routinely used; approximately one-third of the patients will have the diagnosis "intermediate probability of PE" (inconclusive). In this group only about 33% are found to have pulmonary emboli if examined with pulmonary angiography. To evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic, and economic consequences of ultrasoun...
