Abstract :

Objectives: To explore the association between pulmonary artery obstruction index and serological markers with risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism(APE).
Methods: The computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) imaging of patients diagnosed with APE were retrospectively analyzed, and the relevant imaging parameters were measured and calculated. The serological examination results of APE patients were also collected. The relationship of parameters and risk stratification of APE was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation test. The prediction power of parameter with the highest correlation for each risk stratification of APE was tested by the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results: A total of 62 consecutive patients with APE were categorized into high-risk group (20 cases, 32.26%) and low- and intermediate-risk group (42 cases, 67.74%) according to the guideline. The correlation analysis revealed that Mastora score(r=0.822,p < 0.001) and BNP(r=0.754, p<0.001) had strong correlation with risk stratification. Between the two groups, Mastora score( area under the curve 0.973,p<0. 01) and BNP( area under the curve 0. 914,
p<0. 01) had the strongest prediction power for the high-risk group, respectively.
Conclusions: Mastora score and BNP are associated with risk stratification in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Key Words: Acute pulmonary embolism, Computed tomography pulmonary angiography, Mastora score, BNP
