Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the usability of echocardiographic PAP changes obtained from emergency department records in the early risk stratification of pulmonary embolism.

Conditions

Emergency Department Patients; Pulmonary Hypertension; Pulmonary Embolism

Keywords

emergency deparment patients; pulmonary hypertension; pulmonary embolism; dispnea; chest pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• pulmonary artery pressure

  The difference between the pulmonary artery pressure measured in the previous echocardiogram and the pulmonary artery pressure at the time of admission to the emergency department.

  3 hours

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• the relationship between pulmonary embolism and comorbidity

  3 hours

Study Arms (2)

Pulmonary embolism (+)

Other: Pulmonary embolism (+)

Pulmonary embolism (-)

Other: pulmonary embolism (-)

Interventions

pulmonary embolism (-) OTHER

control group

Pulmonary embolism (-)

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients aged 18 and over who present to the emergency department with dyspnea between the specified study dates, are diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, have had their pulmonary artery pressure measured, have a previous pulmonary artery pressure measurement in their patient records, and have complete clinical, laboratory, imaging, and echocardiography data will be included in the study.

You may qualify if:

• Presenting to the emergency department with dyspnea between the specified dates,
• Being 18 years of age or older,
• Being evaluated in the emergency department with a preliminary diagnosis of pulmonary embolism,
• Having a recorded pulmonary artery pressure measurement at the time of hospital admission,
• Having a previous pulmonary artery pressure measurement in the patient's records,
• Having sufficient and complete clinical, laboratory, imaging, and echocardiography data available for the study.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients under 18 years of age,
• Lack of pulmonary artery pressure data from the time of emergency admission or from the previous period,
• Lack of necessary clinical, laboratory, or imaging data for pulmonary embolism evaluation,
• In cases of repeated admissions for the same patient, only the first suitable admission will be considered; other admissions will be excluded from the study,
