Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health issue that increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), making patients more susceptible compared to the general population.
- This study analyzed the effectiveness of existing risk assessment models (RAMs) like Padua and Geneva in predicting VTE incidents specifically in TB patients admitted to the hospital.
- Out of 865 TB cases reviewed, 37 patients developed VTE, mainly deep venous thromboembolism (DVT), with the study indicating that a significant portion of these patients were at elevated risk based on RAM scores, suggesting the need for preemptive treatment.
Background: The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of BAE in TB patient with massive hemoptysis and evaluate the recurrence rate of hemoptysis after BAE.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective study, 68 patients with moderate and severe hemoptysis due to active or old tuberculosis who underwent bronchial arteriography were included. CXR and CT scan were performed in all patients.
