Abstract

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem both in terms of the number of patients and the cost of treatment. Chronic kidney disease seems to be the main driver of pulmonary embolism (PE) in dialysis patients. The diagnosis of PE is difficult due to its non-specific signs and symptoms, especially in many comorbidities with similar features. Chronic kidney disease plays a role in both the incidence of venous thromboembolism and the manifestations of pulmonary hypertension, resulting in an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Advances in the management of patients with suspected PE have improved diagnostic accuracy. An approach using several diagnostic tools with different characteristics, such as D-dimer measurement, and imaging tests-predominantly computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) - can help evaluate the diagnosis. Case DescriptionHere we report the case of a 51-year-old woman with a history of chronic kidney disease, who presented with sudden worsening of dyspnea. Further examination showed signs of right heart failure with a high probability of pulmonary hypertension on echocardiography. Based on the general features it is difficult to distinguish between acute pulmonary embolism and chronic pulmonary hypertension, both of which can be caused by the underlying chronic kidney disease. Nevertheless, gold standard imaging using CTPA confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, with underlying pulmonary hypertension from chronic kidney disease. ConclusionsThe diagnosis of pulmonary embolism with comorbidities is challenging. The availability of diagnostic modalities will confer different advantages and particular accuracy to meet the challenges in diagnosis.

Abstract

Background: Infective endocarditis remains a life-threatening condition with high in-hospital mortality, necessitating identification of predictive clinical factors.Objective: To identify predictors of in-hospital mortality in infective endocarditis (IE) patients.Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 88 patients with IE aged ≥ 18 years treated at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, between September 2019 and May 2023. During hospitalization, data regarding clinical characteristics, blood cultures, and clinical outcomes were assessed to identify the predictors of in-hospital mortality. Data were analyzed using chi-square and binary logistic regression.Results: Among 88 patients with IE, the majority were male (56.8%) and aged < 60 years old (78%). More than two-thirds of patients had valvular heart disease. During treatment, 22 patients (25%) underwent cardiac surgery, and the total in-hospital mortality rate was 35.2%. Although not statistically significant, in-hospital mortality rate was lower in operated patients (22.7% vs 39.4%). In multivariate analysis, septic shock was the only significant predictor of in-hospital mortality (OR 40, 95% CI: 4.7–339, p 0.001)Conclusion: Septic shock is a strong predictor of in-hospital mortality among patients with infective endocarditis. Invasive management by cardiac surgery does not significantly decrease the mortality risk.
