Abstract

Objective: With this study, we aimed at evaluating demographic data, clinical, laboratory findings in pulmonary embolism (PE) and the relation- ship of these findings with the embolism location region and responses of the patients to the treatment of the embolism in order to contribute to the patient management in decreasing mortality. Methods: Clinical findings, accompanying diseases, risk factors, serum D-dimer and creatinine levels, imaging modalities and mortality rates of 205 patients (female: 98, male: 107) diagnosed with PE were examined retrospectively. The relationship between the qualifier variables was evaluated using Chi-square test. Results: Average age of the patients was 61.55±14.44 years and 86 (42%) patients were above 65 years. Most common complaint was dyspnea (85%), most frequent coexisting disease was congestive heart failure (19%). Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (30.7%) was the most frequently seen risk factor. Pulmonary embolism was mostly in the right lobe pulmonary artery (32.1%). It was observed that the higher ages of patients the more frequency of proximal located embolism was (p

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, pulmoner emboli (PE) tanısı konulan hastalarda demografik verileri, klinik, laboratuvar bulguları ve bu bulguların embolinin yerleşim yeri ile ilişkisini, tedaviye yanıtları değerlendirerek mortaliteyi azaltmada izlenecek yollara katkıda bulunmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Pulmoner emboli tanısı konulan 205 hastanın (kadın: 98, erkek: 107) klinik bulguları, eşlik eden hastalıkları, risk faktörleri, serum D-dimer ve kreatinin düzeyleri, görüntüleme yöntemleri, mortalite oranları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Çalışmada nitelik değişkenler arasın- daki ilişki Ki-kare testi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 61.55±14.44 ve 86 (%42) hasta 65 yaş üzerindeydi. Pulmoner emboli için en sık karşılaşılan yakınma nefes darlığı (%85.3), en sık eşlik eden hastalık konjestif kalp yetmezliği (%19) idi. Derin ven trombozu (DVT) (%30.7) ön plandaki risk faktörüydü. Pulmoner embolinin en fazla sağ alt lob pulmoner arterde (%32.1) olduğu saptandı. Hastaların yaşı arttıkça proksimal yerleşimli emboli görülme sıklığının arttığı (p
