Objective: To analyze the prognostic value of pulmonary artery obstruction versus right-ventricle (RV) dysfunction radiologic indices in cancer-related pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: We enrolled 303 consecutive patients with paraneoplastic PE, evaluated by computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) between 2013 and 2014. The primary outcome measure was serious complications at 15days.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored factors influencing 30-day mortality in cancer patients with pulmonary embolism, analyzing both suspected (SPE) and unsuspected (UPE) cases.
- The cohort consisted of 1,033 patients, with key predictors of mortality identified, such as VTE history, cancer type, disease progression, and vital signs.
- Mortality rates differed; truly asymptomatic UPE patients had a lower rate (3%) compared to UPE with symptoms (20%) and SPE (21%), indicating disease severity significantly impacts short-term mortality outcomes.
