Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a condition with high mortality, and determining its etiology is as important as its treatment. There are limited studies in the literature examining the effect of atmospheric pressure (AP) change on PE.
Analyze the effect of AP level and the change in AP level on the development of PE according to year, season and months.
Retrospective SETTING: Department of tertiary care center PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with diagnosed or presumed PE who were followed up in the Erzurum Atatürk University Medicine Chest Diseases Clinic between 2012 and 2020 (8 years) were retrospectively screened for inclusion in the study by examining hospital records. Daily AP values were obtained electronically through official correspondence with the Erzurum Regional Meteorological Directorate. Patients diagnosed with PE were recorded using the hospital database and anamnesis forms. The dates of admission to hospital were recorded. Risk factors leading to the development of PE were identified using the records.
Relationship between AP values and the incidence of PE.
592 RESULTS: AP, AP, and AP were significantly lower on days with PE cases compared to days without PE cases (<.001 for all). ΔAP, ΔAP, and ΔAP values were all negative on days with PE, but only the difference in ΔAP was significant (=.04).
This study showed that lower AP values were significantly associated with the incidence of PE. In particular, a drop in AP compared to the previous day seemed to be most associated with PE development.
Retrospective design and only applicable to region.
None.
肺栓塞（PE）是一种死亡率较高的疾病，确定其病因与治疗同样重要。目前，关于大气压（AP）变化对 PE 影响的研究有限。
根据年份、季节和月份分析 AP 水平和 AP 水平变化对 PE 发展的影响。

三级保健中心的医学胸腔疾病诊所
通过检查医院记录，回顾性筛选 2012 年至 2020 年（8 年）期间在 Erzurum Atatürk 大学医学胸腔疾病诊所接受随访的确诊或疑似 PE 患者，以将其纳入研究。通过与 Erzurum 地区气象局的官方通信，以电子方式获得每日 AP 值。使用医院数据库和病史表格记录 PE 患者的诊断。记录患者住院日期。使用记录确定导致 PE 发展的危险因素。
AP 值与 PE 发病率之间的关系。
592
与无 PE 病例的日子相比，PE 病例日的 AP、AP 和 AP 值显著较低（所有<.001）。PE 病例日的 ΔAP、ΔAP 和 ΔAP 值均为负值，但只有 ΔAP 的差异具有统计学意义（=.04）。
本研究表明，较低的 AP 值与 PE 的发生显著相关。特别是与前一天相比，AP 的下降似乎与 PE 发展的相关性最大。
