Abstract

Objectives: There has been a significant increase in pulmonary embolism (PE) cases during the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of COVID-19 positivity on morbidity and mortality in patients treated with a diagnosis of high-risk PE. Methods: In this single-center and observational study, patients who were referred to our center with the diagnosis of PE between January 1, 2019 and 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. Patients with moderate- and low-risk PE according to the European Society of Cardiology PE guidelines, those who did not undergo computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) or the ones who did not accept treatment were excluded from the study. The patients included in the study were divided into two groups, as those with and without COVID-19, and compared in terms of demographic data, comorbidities, symptoms, thromboembolism in vessels other than the pulmonary artery, laboratory parameters, treatments, and prognosis. Results: A total of 384 PE cases were identified during the study period. Among them, 322 cases that were in the intermediate or low-risk category, 21 cases who did not undergo CTPA, and one case who did not accept thrombolytic therapy were excluded from the study. A total of 40 cases were included in the study. The groups with and without COVID-19 consisted of 23 and 17 patients, respectively. In the group of patients with COVID-19, inflammatory markers were higher, Wells score was lower, and thromboembolism was seen in vessels other than the pulmonary artery. The two groups were similar in terms of other laboratory parameters, demographic data, comorbidities, symptoms, treatment, and prognosis. Conclusion: While the involvement of COVID-19 in PE etiology does not change mortality, it may cause more thrombosis development in both venous and arterial systems outside the pulmonary area by significantly increasing inflammation. However, the lower Wells scores in COVID-19 PE cases in our study indicate that new clinical assessment tools are needed to detect PE risk in COVID-19 patients.

Özet

Amaç: “Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19)” pandemisi sırasında pulmoner emboli olgularında önemli bir artış oldu. Bu çalışmada, yüksek riskli pulmoner emboli tanısıyla tedavi edilen hastalarda COVID-19 pozitifliğinin morbidite ve mortalite üzerine etkilerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntem: Bu tek merkezli gözlemsel çalışmada, 1 Ocak 2019-1 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında merkezimize pulmoner emboli tanısıyla sevk edilen hastalar geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi. Avrupa Kardiyoloji Derneği pulmoner emboli kılavuzlarına göre orta ve düşük riskli pulmoner emboli hastaları, bilgisayarlı tomografi pulmoner anjiyografi yapılmayan veya tedaviyi kabul etmeyen hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Çalışmaya alınan hastalar COVID-19 olan ve olmayan olarak iki gruba ayrılarak demografik veriler, komorbiditeler, semptomlar, pulmoner arter dışındaki damarlarda tromboembolizm, laboratuvar parametreleri, tedaviler ve prognoz karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Çalışma süresi boyunca toplam 384 pulmoner emboli olgusu tespit edildi. Bunlardan orta veya düşük risk kategorisindeki 322 olgu, bilgisayarlı tomografi pulmoner anjiyografi yapılmayan 21 olgu ve trombolitik tedaviyi kabul etmeyen bir olgu çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Toplam 40 olgu dahil edildi. COVID-19 olan ve olmayan gruplar sırasıyla 23 ve 17 hastadan oluşuyordu. COVID-19 olan hastalar grubunda inflamatuvar belirteçler daha yüksek, Wells skoru daha düşük ve pulmoner arter dışındaki damarlarda daha fazla tromboembolizm görüldü. Diğer laboratuvar parametreleri, demografik veriler, komorbiditeler, semptomlar, tedavi ve prognoz açısından iki grup benzerdi. Sonuç: COVID-19'un pulmoner emboli etiyolojisinde yer alması mortaliteyi değiştirmezken, inflamasyonu önemli ölçüde artırarak pulmoner alan dışında hem venöz hem de arteriyel sistemlerde daha fazla tromboz gelişimine neden olabilir. Ancak çalışmamızda COVID-19 pulmoner emboli olgularında Wells skorlarının düşük olması, COVID-19 hastalarında pulmoner emboli riskini tespit etmek için yeni klinik değerlendirme araçlarına ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir.
