Özet
Background In this study, we aimed to compare echocardiography, electrocardiography (ECG) abnormalities, Doppler ultrasonography (USG), and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) results in predicting 3-month mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods This retrospective cohort study included 124 patients (72 females, 52 males) with acute PE. Demographics, symptoms, clinical signs, comorbidities, history of surgery, arterial blood gas, liver-renal functions, complete blood count, echocardiography, ECG, Doppler USG, and CTPA results, as well as 3-month mortality were recorded. Results pH (z=–2.623; p< 0.01), hemoglobin (z=–3.112; p< 0.01), and oxygen saturation (z=–2.165; p< 0. 01) were significantly higher in survivors. White blood cell (z=–2.703; p< 0.01), blood urea nitrogen (z=–3.840; p< 0.01), creatinine (z=–3.200; p< 0.01), respiratory rate (z=–2.759; p< 0.01), and heart rate (z=–2.313; p< 0.01) were significantly higher in non-survivors. Nonspecific ST changes (AUC 0.52, 95% CI 0.43–0.61), p pulmonale (AUC 0.52, 95% CI 0.43–0.61), normal axis (AUC 0.61), right axis deviation (AUC 0.56), right ventricle strain pattern (AUC 0.59), and right pulmonary artery embolism (AUC 0.54) on CTPA showed the highest mortality prediction. Conclusions Nonspecific ST changes, p pulmonale, normal axis and right axis deviation in ECG, RV strain in echocardiography, and right pulmonary artery embolism on CTPA are associated with a higher mortality in patients with PE.
