The Naples prognostic score (NPS), which reflects the inflammatory and nutritional status of patients, is often used to determine prognosis in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term prognostic value of the NPS in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) patients. Two hundred thirty-nine patients diagnosed with APE were divided into two groups according to their NPS, and long-term mortality was compared. The long-term mortality was observed in 38 patients out of 293 patients in the mean follow-up of 24 months. Multivariate analysis showed that NPS as a categorical parameter and NPS as a numeric parameter were independent predictors of long-term mortality. This study highlights that NPS may have the potential to predict long-term mortality in APE patients.
那不勒斯预后评分(NPS)反映了患者的炎症和营养状况,常用于确定癌症患者的预后。本研究旨在确定 NPS 在急性肺栓塞(APE)患者中的长期预后价值。
将 239 例确诊为 APE 的患者按 NPS 分为两组,比较长期死亡率。在平均 24 个月的随访中,38 例 293 例患者观察到长期死亡。多因素分析表明,NPS 作为分类参数和 NPS 作为数值参数均是长期死亡率的独立预测因子。
本研究提示 NPS 可能具有预测 APE 患者长期死亡率的潜力。
