Clinical characteristics, clinical laboratories, and risk factors of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with pulmonary embolism.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this research is to examine the occurrence, clinical manifestations, and determinants of pulmonary embolism (PE) in older individuals diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed on elderly patients diagnosed with COPD, who were admitted to five different hospitals within our province. These patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of pulmonary embolism (PE). And systematically compile and examine the foundational data, clinical attributes, and pertinent laboratory parameters outlined in their respective medical records. These encompass blood routine, arterial blood gas analysis, coagulation markers, and biochemical indicators.
