About this study

Official title: Performance of Pulmonary Embolism Risk Scores for Assessment of Outcome in Computed Tomographic Pulmonary Angiography Confirmed Patients

  1. Assess performance of PERFORM score in predicting outcome in CTPA confirmed patients.
  2. Compare PERFORM score with the currently validated PESI in risk stratification of patients
Read the detailed description

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially lethal condition in the emergency department requiring early and accurate management.

The short-term mortality rate of PE varies widely and ranges from less than 2% in many patients with non massive PE to more than 95% in patients who experience cardiorespiratory arrest.

Although several prognostic models of acute PE are currently used, all of them have practical limitations.

Of all clinical scores integrating PE severity and comorbidity, the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and its simplified version,(sPESI) have been most extensively validated to date.

However, current prognostic scores for pulmonary embolism (PE) are partly based on patients without PE confirmation via computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA), involving subjective parameters and complicated scoring methods [8].

Therefore, an objective, accurate, and simple prognostic model in CTPA-confirmed patients to predict the risk of 30-day mortality. help clinicians assess patients' risks and improve therapeutic decision-making that is called PERFORM score (pulmonary embolism risk score for mortality)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Embolism, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nourhan Safwat Abdelraheem, resiedent doctor (01067885766, nourhansafwat22@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess performance of PERFORM score in predicting outcome in CTPA confirmed patients. (time frame: from 11/2022 to 4/2024). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05613855, which also lists 6 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2022.
