PEREZ DOMINGUEZ, Julio Alberto et al. Influencing factors in death due to pulmonary embolism. Multimed [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.3 Epub 12-Maio-2021. ISSN 1028-4818.
Introduction:
pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) is the most serious consequence of a primary event. It requires a high rate of clinical probability analysis based on the evaluation of the risk factors present.
Objective:
to identify prognostic factors for death in patients with pulmonary embolism.
Methods:
an analytical study of cases and controls was carried out with 78 patients with PE (26 cases and 52 controls).
Results:
mean age 57.3 years, non-significant predominance in the female sex of 53.7% p> 0.05 and in the age group ≤60 years 55.1%, p˃0.05. The fatality was 30.5% without gender predominance. Diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and deep vein thrombosis showed a significant association with death. The logistic regression model showed that pulmonary hypertension adjusted OR 7.1 95% CI (2.5- 9.2) p = 0.01 and right ventricular dysfunction adjusted OR 5.5 95% CI (2.0-8, 6) p = 0.00 showed an independent relationship with the probability of dying.
Conclusions:
right ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension were identified as prognostic factors for death due to PE. The proven results allow us to stratify the patient, constituting a solid base for further predictive studies.
