Combination and comparison of two models in prognosis of pulmonary embolism: Results from TUrkey Pulmonary Embolism Group (TUPEG) study

Value of Cardiac Troponin and sPESI in Treatment of Pulmonary Thromboembolism at Outpatient Setting

“…A significant portion (approximately one-third) of patients with PTE are low-risk patients [16]. In the present study, we treated 15 % of all patients (31 in 206) on an outpatient basis using two models.…”

Comparison and combination of a hemodynamics/biomarkers-based model with simplified PESI score for prognostic stratification of acute pulmonary embolism: findings from a real world study

“…25 In this study event rate of combined endpoints all cause 30-days mortality, nonfatal recurrent PE and non-fatal major bleedings was 0% when low risk patients according to ESC model were combined with sPESI 0. 25 Recently, Jimenez D et al derived and validated a multimarker prognostic model based on sPESI as first approach.…”

“…25 In this study event rate of combined endpoints all cause 30-days mortality, nonfatal recurrent PE and non-fatal major bleedings was 0% when low risk patients according to ESC model were combined with sPESI 0. 25 Recently, Jimenez D et al derived and validated a multimarker prognostic model based on sPESI as first approach. 27 They found that in patients with sPESI 0, negative BNP identified patients with 0.9% cumulative incidence of 30-days all-cause mortality, hemodynamic deterioration and VTE recurrence, whereas positive BNP identified patients with 3.6% cumulative incidence of the abovementioned endpoints.…”

“…24 Much recently Oszu S et al reported that sPESI and 2008 ESC prognostic model showed similar performance on 30-days mortality. 25 They found an AUC of 0.64 (95%CI: 0.58-0.68) for 2008 ESC prognostic model and 0.62 (95%CI: 0.57-0.67) respectively. In this study all-cause mortality in sPESI score low risk patients was 6% versus 7% in 2008 ESC prognostic model low risk.…”

Prognostic role of the simplified pulmonary embolism severity index and shock index in pulmonary embolism

“…Previous studies reported a mortality rate of 0% to 2.8% in normotensive patients with PE, including a low-risk group classified using the sPESI. 24,25,29,30 In the studies of unstable patients with PE, the mortality rate was from 0% to 1.1%. 7,31 Both studies suggested that outpatient treatment was appropriate for low-risk patients.…”
