The analysis of the relationship between pulmonary embolism in elderly patients and early mortality revealed that there is a statistical correlation amongimmobility, syncope, tachycardia, hypotension, elevated Troponin-T, coronary arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism with massive dimension, bilateral pulmonary embolism, Wells-likely pulmonary embolism, and modified Geneva-likely pulmonary embolism were statistically related factors(p values, respectively, were 0.002; 0.033; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.037;0.011; 0.000; 0.030; 0.023; 0.018).Conclusion: Immobility, syncope, tachycardia, hypotension, elevated Troponin T, coronaryarterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism with massive dimension, bilateralpulmonary embolism, Wells-likely pulmonary embolism, and modified Geneva-likely pulmonaryembolism were determined as effective risk factors affecting the early mortality of elderly patients with pulmonary embolism

Abstract

Introduction: The ratio of elderly people in Turkey is rapidly growing. It is known that pulmonary embolism and venous thrombolysis incidence increases with age. Despite the major advances in pulmonary embolism diagnosis and treatment, pulmonary embolism leads to highermortality rates in the elderly. In the present study, evaluation of socio-demographic and clinicalcharacteristics of elderly patients diagnosed with pulmonary embolism in the emergency department and determination of factors that affect early mortality have been targeted in order to decrease mortality. Materials and Method: Between January 1, 2009, and September 30, 2014, patients whowere 65 years of age and older who had been admitted through the emergency departmentwith suspected pulmonary embolism and whose pulmonary embolism diagnosis was finalized via computerized tomographic pulmonary angiography. Results: In the study, 87 (61.8%) were female and 52 (38.2%) were male. Thirteen patients(9.4%) died during the follow-up period. The analysis of the relationship between pulmonary embolism in elderly patients and early mortality revealed that there is a statistical correlation amongimmobility, syncope, tachycardia, hypotension, elevated Troponin-T, coronary arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism with massive dimension, bilateral pulmonary embolism, Wells-likely pulmonary embolism, and modified Geneva-likely pulmonary embolism were statistically related factors(p values, respectively, were 0.002; 0.033; 0.000; 0.000; 0.000; 0.037;0.011; 0.000; 0.030; 0.023; 0.018).Conclusion: Immobility, syncope, tachycardia, hypotension, elevated Troponin T, coronaryarterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, pulmonary embolism with massive dimension, bilateralpulmonary embolism, Wells-likely pulmonary embolism, and modified Geneva-likely pulmonaryembolism were determined as effective risk factors affecting the early mortality of elderly patients with pulmonary embolism

Özet

Giriş: Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye'de de yaşlı nüfus oranı hızla artmaktadır. Pulmoneremboli ve venöz tromboli insidansının yaşla birlikte arttığı bilinmektedir. Pulmoner emboli tanı vetedavisindeki büyük ilerlemelere rağmen pulmoner emboli yaşlılarda daha yüksek oranda mortalite ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, acil serviste pulmoner emboli tanısı alan yaşlı hastalarınsosyodemografik ve klinik özelliklerini değerlendirmek ve mortalitenin azaltılabilmesi için erkenmortalite üzerindeki etkili faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma 01.01.2009 tarihi ile 30.09.2014 tarihleri arasında acil servise başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri olan ve pulmoner emboli şüphesi ile çekilen kompüterize tomografikpulmoner anjiografilerinde pulmoner emboli tanısı kesinleşen 139 hasta hastane bilgisayar kayıtsisteminden retrospektif olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Bu çalışmada hastaların 87'si (%61,8) kadın, 52'si (%38,2)'si erkekti. Hastaların takibinde 13 kişi (9,4%) yaşamını kaybetti. Çalışmada pulmoner embolili yaşlı hastalarının acil başvuru anındaki özellikleri ile erken mortalite arasındaki faktörlerin araştırıldığı analizde immobilite,bayılma, taşikardi, hipotansiyon, Troponin T yükselmesi, koroner arter hastalığı, serebrovaskülerhastalık, masif boyutlu pulmoner emboli olması, bilateral pulmoner emboli olması, Wells skorlamasında muhtemel pulmoner emboli olması ve Modifiye Genava skorlamasında muhtemel pulmoner emboli olmasının istatistiksel olarak ilişkili faktörler olduğu tespit edildi( p değerleri sırasıyla 0,002; 0,033; 0,000; 0,000; 0,006; 0,037; 0,011; 0,000; 0,030; 0,023; 0,018).Sonuç: İmmobilite, senkop, taşikardi, hipotansiyon, Troponin T yükselmesi, koroner arterhastalığı, serebrovasküler hastalık, masif boyutlu pulmoner emboli olması, bilateral pulmoner emboli olması, Wells skorlamasında muhtemel pulmoner emboli olması ve Modifiye Genava skorlamasında muhtemel pulmoner emboli olması yaşlı pulmoner embolili hastalarda erken mortaliteüzerine etkili faktörler olarak bulunmuştur
