“…We selected several items significantly associated with PE for inclusion into the score, including symptoms and signs commonly encountered in PE and the results of related clinical examinations (blood gases, ECG, UCG). [24][25][26] The data related to the clinical manifestations included in the score are easy to obtain from the patient's history and a physical examination. In addition, the clinical examinations required are relatively noninvasive and simple to perform, which is acceptable for patients.…”

“…In the non-simple group, for the 38 PE patients also with lung cancer, the median of haemoptysis was 5 [5][6][7][8][9][10] mL and was considered to be mild. Of them, the ratio of haemoptysis ≤ 5 mL was 68.4% (26/38) and haemoptysis ≤ 20 mL was 86.8% (33/38).…”

“…1,2 Multiple retrospective studies have mentioned that the occurrence rate of haemoptysis for PE patients was 2.6%-7.6%. [3][4][5] A domestic prospective study showed that the occurrence rate of haemoptysis for 516 patients with acute PE was 26%. 6 As acute PE can cause haemoptysis, chronic PE may cause bronchial artery rupture and bleeding, and PE can also exist with other diseases that cause haemoptysis.…”

Background: In the patients with pulmonary embolism (PE), PE itself can cause haemoptysis and other reasons can also cause haemoptysis. Therefore, the clinical characteristics and the causes of haemoptysis are lacking. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed that involved screening 583 PE patients and determining that haemoptysis occurred in 141 cases. Of these, eight cases were omitted due to anticoagulation-related haemoptysis or unavailable data, leaving 133 cases that were enrolled in final analysis (127 acute and 6 chronic case of PE). We classified the acute PE patients who combined with diseases which can cause haemoptysis to non-simple group (n = 61) and those without these diseases to simple group (n = 66). Results: The incidence of haemoptysis in PE patients was 23.75%. In the simple group, the amount of haemoptysis ≤ 5 mL was 80.30% (53/66) and ≤ 20 mL was 90.91% (60/66). In the non-simple group who combined with lung cancer, the amount of haemoptysis ≤ 5 mL was 68.4% (26/38) and ≤ 20 mL was 86.8% (33/38). Further analyses revealed that the amount of haemoptysis in the non-simple group was larger than that in the simple group (median 5 [5-125] vs. 5 [5-5], p < 0.001; volume ≥ 100 mL: 29.5% vs. 6.1%, p< 0.001). Among all the PE patients, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), PE combined with tuberculosis (TB) and PE combined with bronchiectasis were independent risk factors for the amount of haemoptysis ≥ 100 mL (OR = 15.00, (95% CI: 2.235-100.652); 12.00, (3.101-46.437); 60.00, (6.552-549.441), respectively). Conclusions: The haemoptysis caused by acute PE or PE combined with lung cancer was mild and was characterised by blood in sputum. PE combined with TB, bronchiectasis and CTEPH are associated with moderate to massive haemoptysis, with a greater risk of haemoptysis ≥ 100 mL.

“…Pada pasien di Asia Tenggara, TVD berperan sebagai 37% dari total faktor risiko PE. 22 Secara geografis, tempat tinggal yang tinggi dapat menginduksi kondisi hiperkoagulabilitas. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya meningkatnya aktivasi trombosit, meningkatnya kerusakan endotel, meningkatnya sitokin proinflamasi dan menurunnya aktivitas fibrinolitik.…”

Introduction: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is one of the biggest causes of death in the world. DVT has various risk factors so that DVT patient presentation can be different in each age, sex, and race group. This review aimed to obtain information regarding characteristics of deep vein thrombosis patients.Method: This study used qualitative approach that is library research using books and other literatures as the main object. This study was conducted using search engine, such as Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Clinical Key to obtain journals related with characteristics of deep vein thrombosis patients. Result: From 17 literatures, we found that characteristics of deep thrombosis patients are different in each age, sex, and race group. The severity of DVT increased with increasing age because of other conditions usually found in older age. Men are more susceptible to have DVT than women without reproductive risk factors such as pregnancy and menopause. African has more severe DVT presentation than other races. Lowest risk is found in Asian, although there is no significant difference in mortality between races.Conclusions: Characteristics of DVT patients (incidence rate, risk factors, location, and severity) vary in each age, sex, and race group.
