About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

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,

Disqualifiers

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,

Trial 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.
