Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of gender on the development of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) after an acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
- A total of 11 studies involving 5,788 PE cases and 391 CTEPH patients were analyzed, showing no significant difference in incidence rates between males and females (P = .28).
- The findings suggest that gender does not serve as a risk factor for CTEPH, highlighting the importance of evaluating potential complications in all patients regardless of gender for better treatment outcomes.
Background And Objective: This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effect and safety of selexipag in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension and to explore the effect of selexipag on cardiac function indexes in PAH patients.
Methods: Electronic databases, including the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and PubMed databases, were searched. Endnote software X9 was used for study selection, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool was used for literature screening and quality assessment.
