Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious condition that poses diagnostic challenges; this study aimed to assess how thrombosis risk factors, clinical symptoms, and lab results correlate with PE presence.
- Conducted at Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital in Tehran, a year-long retrospective study included 188 patients and utilized computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) to confirm PE diagnoses and analyze risk factors.
- Among participants, 31.7% were diagnosed with PE, with common risk factors identified as inactivity, hypertension, and cancer history; notable symptoms included shortness of breath and tachypnea, but no significant demographic differences were observed between PE cases and non-cases.
