“…So far, it is unknown what the best predictors are for short-term mortality and MB among the several commonly used biomarkers in patients with APE. In the assessment of the early risk of death (in hospital and 30-day) from PE, in the prediction the severity and possible outcome in patients with PE, the most used parameters are D-dimer, cardiac troponin, natriuretic peptides [brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP)] [3][4][5][6][7][8] . Also, role of an inflammatory biomarker, C-reactive protein (CRP), as a predictor of prognosis in PE, was investigated 9 .…”

Background/Aim. Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) may have different clinical manifestations. Also, its outcome can range from complete recovery to early death. Major bleeding (MB) as a due of the therapy also contributes to the overall adverse outcome. So far, it is unknown what the best predictors are for short-term mortality and MB among the several commonly used biomarkers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of Creactive protein (CRP) and other biomarkers for the prediction of adverse clinical outcomes. Methods. This clinical, observational, retrospective-prospective study included 219 consecutive adult patients treated for APE. Results. Among 219 patients, 22 (10%) died within the first month after diagnosis. Twenty seven patients (12.3%) had at least one episode of MB. Composite end-point [netadverse clinical outcome (NACO)] was estimated in 47 (21.5%) of patients. The average values of all biomarkers were higher in the group of patient who died, and differences were statistically significant. Similar results were obtained for composite end-point. In terms of MB, none of biomarkers did not have significance, but CRP had a slight tendency toward significance. Results from univariate logistic regression model showed that troponin was statistically significant predictor of 30-day mortality. However, after adjusting for other variables, in multivariate logistic regression model troponin failed to be significant independent predictor of 30-day mortality. Unlike troponin, CRP and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were significant in all models-uni and multivariate (they were independent predictors of 30-day mortality). Conclusion. CRP has a good predictive value for 30-day mortality and NACO, and potential for MB in patients treated for APE.
