Refinement of a modified simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index for elderly patients with acute pulmonary embolism

International Journal of Cardiology, 2021
To evaluate the utility of a modified (i.e., without the variable "Age >80 years") simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) in elderly patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE), and to derive and validate a refined version of the sPESI for identification of elderly patients at low risk of adverse events.The study included ...

The validation and reproducibility of the pulmonary embolism severity index

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2010
Rapid, accurate risk stratification is paramount in managing patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The PE Severity Index (PESI) is a simple tool that risk stratifies patients with acute PE.We sought to validate the PESI as a predictor of short- and intermediate-term mortality and to determine the inter-rater variability.We retrospectively ...

An Angiographic Severity Index for Pulmonary Embolism

Circulation, 1973
This report has discussed the use of an angiographic severity index for pulmonary embolism in the analysis of pulmonary angiograms from 160 patients admitted to the Urokinase-Pulmonary Embolism Trial. Angiographic studies done before and after treatment with urokinase or heparin were analyzed independently by three radiologists who had no knowledge of ...

Comparing the pulmonary embolism severity index and the prognosis in pulmonary embolism scores as risk stratification tools

Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND:Multiple risk stratification scoring systems exist to forecast outcomes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).OBJECTIVE:We evaluated the comparative validity of the PE severity index (PESI) and the prognosis in pulmonary embolism (PREP) scores to predict mortality in acute PE.DESIGN:Retrospective observational cohort study ...

Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index and troponin testing for the selection of low-risk patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism [PDF]

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2010
The combination of the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and troponin testing could help physicians identify appropriate patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) for early hospital discharge.This prospective cohort study included a total of 567 patients from a single center registry with objectively confirmed acute symptomatic PE.

Modification of Simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index and its Prognostic Value in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Heart Lung and Circulation, 2016
Various risk stratification systems have been used to predict the clinical outcome of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). In this study we present a modification of the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (S-PESI) score and evaluate its accuracy in predicting the outcome of these patients.Patients older than 18 years with documented PE were

Prognostic value of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography and the pulmonary embolism severity index in patients with acute pulmonary embolism

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 2013
Pulmonary embolism is a serious and potentially fatal disorder. Pulmonary embolism risk stratification may allow early hospital discharge and outpatient treatment for low-risk patients. Also, it may prevent death by early medical intervention in high-risk groups.

Arterial base deficit in pulmonary embolism is an index of severity and diagnostic delay

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2010
In acute pulmonary embolism, patients free from circulatory failure usually present a blood gas pattern consistent with respiratory alkalosis. We investigated whether the appearance of arterial base deficit in these patients indicates disease severity and diagnostic delay.

Accuracy and Interobserver Reliability of the Simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index Versus the Hestia Criteria for Patients With Pulmonary Embolism

Academic Emergency Medicine, 2018
AbstractObjectivesThe objective was to assess and compare the accuracy and interobserver reliability of the simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) and the Hestia criteria for predicting short‐term mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).MethodsThis prospective cohort study evaluated consecutive eligible adults with PE diagnosed
