Correlation of Hematologic Indices with CT-pulmonary Arterial Obstruction Index in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Emboli

Abstract

Introduction: Acute Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is an imperative medical condition with a considerable global impact. Inflammation is deemed to take a notable part in the pathophysiology of this potentially fatal disorder. The aim of the current study was to predict acute PTE severity in helical pulmonary CT-angiography using easily accessible hematological complete blood count (CBC) indices.
