⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

DVT was diagnosed in 6 cases (%10.7) and pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 5 cases (%8.9) Our results did not show any predictive value of patient's age, height, weight, duration of illness, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases and hematocrit values in the diagnosis of PE and DVT.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Patients with Acute Exacerbations Infections, deep venous thrombosis(DVT) and pulmonary embolism(PE), and cardiac rhythm problems are frequent causes of acute exacerbations in COPD.

Abstract

Patients with Acute Exacerbations Infections, deep venous thrombosis(DVT) and pulmonary embolism(PE), and cardiac rhythm problems are frequent causes of acute exacerbations in COPD. We investigated DVT and PE incidence prospectively in 56 COPD patients who had been hospitalized due to acute exacerbations. DVT was evaluated by color doppler ultrasonography and by venography in 2 suspected cases. PE was evaluated by ventilation/perpfusion scintigraphy in 8 cases with intermediatte-high clinical probability. DVT was diagnosed in 6 cases (%10.7) and pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 5 cases (%8.9) Our results did not show any predictive value of patient's age, height, weight, duration of illness, pulmonary function tests, arterial blood gases and hematocrit values in the diagnosis of PE and DVT.

Özet

Kronik obstrüktif akciğer hastalığı (KOAH) akut ataklarından sıklıkla infeksiyon, derin ven trombozu (DVT) ve akciğer embolisi, kardiyak ritim bozuklukları sorumlu olmaktadır. 1996 yılı içerisinde KOAH akut atağı nedeniyle yatırılan 56 olguda ileriye dönük olarak DVT ve akciğer embolisi insidansı araştırıldı. DVT tanısı renkli doppler ultrasonografi ve şüpheli 2 olguda venografi ile, pulmoner emboli tanısı ise klinik olarak orta-yüksek olasılıklı 8 olguda ventilasyon-perfüzyon sintigrafisi ile araştırıldı. Altı (%10.7) olguda DVT, 5 olguda akciğer embolisi saptandı (%8.9). Sonuçlarımız, olguların yaş, ağırlık, boy, hastalık süresi, solunum fonksiyon testleri, arter kan gazı değerleri, hematokrit değerlerinin DVT ve akciğer embolisi tanısında belirleyici değerini göstermedi.
